Hi, I'm using Outlook 2000 SP-3. When I close the Outlook (Exit, Exit and
Log Off, or click the x), the process still exists. I can only terminate it
in Windows Task Manager.

What's the problem and how to fix it?
 
Some common reasons why Outlook will not shut down completely when you click
either the X or Exit:

1. PDA synchronization software with your PDA in the cradle.
2. WinFax Pro (especially 10.02 in Outlook 2003) - contact their support
for an alleged fix.
3. Franklin-Cover Plan Plus!
4. COM Add-ins.
5. Mail reminder add-ins that keep a stub of Outlook open in the background
to check for new mail and fire reminders.
6. Anti-virus/firewall programs that are set to scan incoming and outgoing
mail.
