[Question]Outlook 2000 Hangs when closing

[averagecdn]

I have a Windows 2000 computer that is running office 2k with outlook 2k. When I close out of Outlook it hangs with the message "Please wait while microsoft outlook exits". Anyone have any idea how to get rid of this message.

Regards,

Mark

Have you run detect and repair from the help menu?

When's the last time you checked the size of your PST file? Perhaps it's getting large... over 2GB?

I have this same issue in my corporate enviroment. No matter how many times you run detect and repair, check the PSTs, or reinstall Office, it will not fix the issue. I have found a link with the patch for outlook that will fix it. However, it doesn't workwell with slipstreaming patches. If you slipstream it into an admin installation, it says the source doesn't match what you've installed. However it works.
