Outlook 2003 hangs in systray on exit

Hi,

I just upgraded to Office 2003 from Office XP and installed all the required
updates. My problem is that after exiting outlook, the icon stays in the
systray. When I click it, I get this message: "Outlook is not responding.
If you are using an exchange server email account, you can cancel pending
server requests by clicking the Outlook icon in the notification area and
then clicking 'cancel server request' on the shortcut menu."

The problem is I'm not running an exchange server at home--it's strictly a
pop account. The only way to remedy this problem right now is to bring up
the windows task manager and ending the OUTLOOK.exe process manually. I
tried uninstalling and reinstalling without success. Any other suggestions?
Thanks,

Jake
