Hi Don, Try this:
in outlook, there are 4 options of things it can do when a new email arrives, and 3 of them involve displaying something. go into it's options, and disable the 3 things involving changing the display. in particular, press alt-t for the tools menu, and o for the options choice, and you'll be in a multi-tabbed dialog. find the "preferences" tab (should be the one you enter into first), find the "email options" button, and press it. find the "advanced email options" button, and press it. find the 4 checkboxes which cover what to do when a new email arrives, and make sure only the one for "play a sound" is checked. then, "ok" your way out. then, see if this fixes your problem. please let us all know.
