Has any one seen where you open like word and or outlook and in the processes you get the OUTLOOK.EXE process but when you close the pogram the processes dose not quit. then when you open outlook agin it just creates another process of OUTLOOK.EXE and it leaves the old process running while running the new one. if any one has any idea why the computer is doing this.

Under "Mail Format" (Tools, Options)
see if the "use Microsoft Word to edit email message" is checked. If it is uncheck it.

If it's checked, this relationship between Word and Outlook could be the culprit in locking the Outlook process.

I have it disabled, but if Outlook ever locks up for some other reason (like working too hard :p ) I always check Task Manager and end the Outlook.exe process before reopening Outlook again. It just has that tendency to hang there a bit.
