Outlook 2003: My "auto suggest" email address does not work after reboot

Hotkey

Running Windows 7 HP 64.

After I access names in the Contact list, they will be auto suggested as I
start to type a letter, but if I reboot, its as if I've never done it.

Never had that happened before.

This is a sighn that Outlook isn't closing properly. Start Outlook in safe
mode (hold Ctrl when starting) to see if the behavior changes. If so, then
you have an add-in interfering with the proper closing of Outlook.
 
The only Add-In I see is Exchange Extensions property pages. I have no idea
what that is. Is that normal in here?

Did you look in both COM Add-Ins and Add-In Manager? Did you actually try
safe mode? Do you have a hand-held device with which you sync?
 
It's normal, but unless you use Exchange server account, is not required and
you could safely disable it.

See http://www.slipstick.com/problems/close.asp for the types of programs
that may keep it open - something their might ring a bell.

I tired Safe Mode and it seemed to work correctly there. I did NOT look in
COM area. iTunes helper. I do sync Contacts and Calendar to iPod so I
suppose I need that. I've always done this though and never had issues
before.

I have a Wireless Sync utility for my Verizon Palm Centro push mail/outlook
sync. But again, have had it for long time with no issues. Now?
 
Note details in prior post on Brian's note. I do have some of these.

If it works in safe mode, then you do have an add-in interfering. Disable
them all and then re-enable them one at a time until it fails again.

Just because it has worked in the past doesn't mean anything unless you can
guarantee that none of them has received an update.
