Outlook 2003 Hanging on exit

M

Matt Williamson

I know this is a common problem and I've read everything that is available
on the web that I can find regarding this occurence. The symptoms in the
case are that the process Outlook.exe remains in memory with very high CPU
utilization 60-98% after exiting the program. This is Outlook 2003 sp2
running on Exchange 2003 sp2. It does happen when I launch Outlook /safe as
well, so I know it's not an Add-in causing it. I have Google desktop
installed but I've killed the process and disabled its add-in. No help. I do
use word as the Email editor but it doesn't help to kill Winword.exe either.
I've gone through the list of processes and killed everything related to AV,
Syncing PDA, etc. I don't have Skype on this workstation. I'd really like to
get this solved because more than just an annoyance, it's preventing some
CDO code that I wrote from running properly.

TIA

Matt

Does it also occur if you start win in Safe mode?


Yes. If I start in safe mode with network support, the same thing happens.
It's not another program interfering. I ran process monitor and filtered for
Outlook.exe after closing it while it is spiking the CPU and this is what I
get repeatedly. The buffer overflow looks like a possible problem but I'm
not sure how to troubleshoot further.

There was a mention on SysInternals forum of repairing Tcpip, which
apparently cured the problem for one but not others.
Also the entry for 'NdisWanIp' , being a driver have been any driver updates
from none PC manufacturers, or HW manu. sites?

You might try running Outlook through this tool
http://www.dependencywalker.com/ (An MS app) and see if it shows any err
modules.

If troubleshooting the TCPIP connection, maybe try this. How big is th
user's inbox? It could be a problem syncing with Exchange upon exitin
the program. Maybe try setting up a PST locally and moving messages t
it, clearing some quota space on the server
