I recently upgraded a customer to small business server
2003. Along with that i upgraded all of their clients to
Outlook 2003. On one of the client PC's outlook will run
once but if you close it, it will not run again. I have
found though that the icon in the system tray does not go
away when outlook closes. It stays there and appears to
be locked up since it will not give me the option when I
right click on it. I have found that if i go to
taskmanager and end all processes named outlook.exe it
will go away and outlook is able to launch again. So
evedently my problem has something to do with whatever
part of outlook is running in the system tray. Now is it
really needed and if not how do i get it to not come up
with outlook?
 
are you using a pda or other application that syncs with outlook? something
is accessing the mail folders and that keps outlook open.
 
No nothing should be syncing with outlook once it closes.
I had thought that since they are using exchange for
internal email it might have been the cached exchange mode
but after turning that off it still did the same thing.

Sorry that reply was mine didn't notice that it changed my
sender info. But to re-iterate they having nothing that
syncs, except maybe the exchange cached mode but i turned
that off.
 
i have the same problem, and also if i leave it open for
a few hours while it is minimized, outlook will crash for
some unknown reason.

I have the small problem on two of 15 Outlook 2003 clients running with SBS 2003. Very frustrating. I can find anything that is sync'ing nor is Word the email editor

Any hints?
