My 'synchronizing folders' icon is constantly going

[MarciaLouise]

My synchronizing folders icon in the lower right hand bar is constantly
indicating that synchronization is happening and it is making my outlook slow
and at times freeze up. I have tried "send/receive settings - cancel' as
well as a variety of help queries. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the
whole MS Office 2007 thinking it was corrupted or perhaps a virus. Sometimes
when I press send recieve it goes to an infiinite loop and the numbers of
files sent/received is in the hundreds so I shut downthe computer....what to
do? I have spent a day on this already and as I am self employed, this is
serious impacting my ability to do business.

To which interval do you have set your automatic send/receive settings?
Do you have a virus scanner that integrates with Outlook? Disable/uninstall
this integration and try again.
See http://www.msoutlook.info/question/20

There is also a small display bug which shows the Outlook icon in the
Notification Area as like it is doing a send/receive while it is not. This
is only a display bug and doesn't do any harm otherwise. This will be fixed
in Service Pack 2.
