Long shot, but... Have had users with this or similar problems when running apps (SETI command line comes to mind) which consmue 100% CPU at "normal" priority.
Not exactly sure why it happens [you can guess at my "advised solution" to this one and the amount of time I haven't spent fixing it], but it would appear that something to do with Outlook 2002 exit runs at sub-zero priority [only on some machines], and if anything else is running at a higher priority the Outlook process effectively hangs due to ?lack of CPU cycles. If you close the other app, Outlook exits almost immediately. Doesn't happen with Outlook 2000. Happens with Win 2000 and XP Pro as the OS. Funny thing, though. All complainants so far have been using Dell machines. Surely a coincidence?
