Running Outlook 2000 on a Windows 98 SE machine. Was working fine then after lunch came back and it was gone. Press ctrl/alt/del and it shows up in the lists of tasks running. I even receive email (message pops up) but Outlook doesn't show up as minimized or anything (even alt/tab will not change to program). If I "End Task" on the Outlook that is open and then start the program again the Outlook screen pops up, like it's opening, and then it disappears. But it IS running because I receive email. Any help for this strange occurrence would be appreciated.

After looking at a couple different things I have found out that it is when I access the INBOX, and it now quits Outlook. I've just installed Microsoft's Patch 3 and still doesn't work.

Try either of these:
Alt-Tab to Outlook, then Alt-Space, X

or

Right-click on Outlook task button and select maximize.

I suspect that it got moved off the screen somehow.

Just figured out what was going on. This is one for everyone to keep in mind with any strange problems similar to this. The person was running NoAds (an internet pop-up killer program) and somehow Outlooks "Inbox" was placed on the pop-up list so every time the "Inbox" popped up NoAds would kill it. Case Solved....Thanks
