2 instances of outlook running?

[Rafael Chemtob]

Hi,
I have a machine running XP Pro OS and a machine that's
running Win2K Pro. On the Win2K machine, I can have 2
instances of Outlook running concurrently, but with the XP
machine, it doesn't let me.
Both are running Office XP SP2. Any ideas?

thanks

Only 1 instance of Outlook can actually run at a time. Any other
instances shown in the Task Manager are hung instances.

Sounds like it's the same instance, with two different windows.

I can two outlooks running at the same time and neither of them is hung.

The side effect is that every email is received twice. How do I prevent
outlook from running more than one instance?
