trouble with send/receive, extend.dat and related (?) issues

[Rick]

I don't know if these issues are related or not, but I am having trouble
sending or receiving. The issues are sporadic. Sometimes nothing will send
or receive, and exiting and restarting the program fixes the problem. I also
sometimes get the error that Outlook was not closed properly and it runs the
scan of the folders, even though I did close Outlook properly. Finally, I
sometimes get the message that the extend.dat file didn't initialize.
Outlook seems to work ok nonetheless, but I usually restart just in case, and
the error message does not come up the second time.
Like I said, I don't know if these issues are related, and they don't
necessarily happen at the same time. I have run detect and repair several
times, but this does not correct the errors.

Next time you have an issue, use Task Manager & check running processess for
multiple instances of outlook.exe.
If there are such then the likely problem is a comm addin or other
application that is intergrated with OL
