outlook 2003 hangs on close

[Sparky1]

Hey! I just recently ugraded from office 2002 to 2003 on an IBM T30 running Windows XP pro and now outlook hangs on exit and the icon stays is the systray until I end the process. I've searched the web and found that it is an issue. I then did a complete un-install and re-install of 2003. Deleted and recreated the users account, and even deleted the Outlook Backup profile. I have tried the .srs rename and the extend.dat delete and variuos other fixes including disabling sync on exit yadda yadda yadda............ Is ther a pill for this issue?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i'm having the same problem

i close it, it still remains and after opening it for 2-3 times there are 3 outlook.exe's are running in the background with no visible windows and the tray icon exist but double clicking on it does nothing.

i just go to the taskbar and end proces..

Have you both upgraded your office 2003 to SP1?

I have had no issues with Outlook 2003 with and without Office 2003 SP1 on XP SP1 or SP2 but then I am using Exc 2003 as a mail server.

I would look to issues with the OS and not the Office programs themselves...

I've run the update to no avail. I'm going to keep up the research, if I find something I'll post it here.
