Close all before shutting down system

I have a notebook running Win XP Pro and MS Office XP Pro. I'm logged in as admin.

Everytime I try to shutdown my computer, I get the message to "close all microsoft applications before shutting down the system" eventhough I already exited everything. Via task manager, I can see (for example) that winword.exe or outlook.exe is still there and I have to end the process manually.

Is there a fix for this problem?

I would start with an Office and Windows update.

Perhaps there is a 'bug' in the code that is causing winword and outlook to not shut down all the way.

Next, check your system performance, and see if you have high resource usage.

It is possible that you have a memory leak.

Other things to do:

A complete virus scan.

A spyware scan.
