Subject: Annoying outlook Problem
I have just moved my personal box up to Windows 2000, SP2, and I am using Outlook 98. I am in the administrators group for both the domain, and this box. Everything works OK except for one little annoying glitch.
I usually leave my box on 24 hours a day, so the network backup will back it up. When the box is first booted, and I open up outlook it asks me what profile I want to load. This is how I have it set up, so I can look at several boxes, testbox, mine, people who have left the company, etc.
The thing is that after I close out and reopen outlook an indeterminate amount of times, Outlook won't close. What I mean by this, is I close out the Outlook, and the Outlook window goes away, but I never see the small "Please Wait while Outlook closes" window that usually comes up. If I have a task that goes off during the night then when I come in the morning it's up on the screen. If mail comes in over night the little envelop icon is down in the systray. When I open Outlook it does not ask which profile I want, but just boots into the last profile I had open.
If I look in task manager, the Mapisp32.exe and Outlook.exe processes are still running, even though Outlook itself does not show up in applications widow of Task Manager.
If I do an end Process on these two processes then Outlook starts normally. Otherwise the only way to start Outlook normally is to do a log off, or restart the box.
Any ideas what's causing this?
