Outlook 2007 'hangs' when closing

[We No Speak]

Hello,

New to the group, sorry if this question's already been answered.

When I close Outlook 2007 [part of my Office 2007 Business Suite], the
program closes, but the desktop freezes and the icon remains in the systray.

To work around this, I've been right-clicking in a blank space on the
desktop and selecting 'refresh' and that fixes the problem.

Is there a setting in Outlook I need to tweak to eliminate this issue?

I'm on a clean install of XP Pro SP2 [about 3 weeks ago].

Many thanks,

Well, since no one responded, I'm going to assume it's the Windows Desktop
Search program I recently installed as 'requested' by Office 2007.

I love the program because once your files are indexed, you can find what
you're looking for in locations that are not 'active'.

I have 4 internal hard drives and 8 external hard drives. I ran the program
with all drives connected and turned on. Now, when I'm looking for something,
the results will show where the file is and if it's on a drive that's not
turned on, I know exactly which drive to activate. Very sweet when you have
12 drives.

The only real drawback is after a boot up, the program takes about 3 - 5
minutes to 'organize' itself and the computer barely runs until it's
finished.

I guess the hanging Outlook 2007 is a victim of this program somehow as it
is designed to integrate with Office 2007.

Oh well - if anyone else has similar issues, it would be nice to confirm.

Thanks,

Rick

Hi I am new to the group. Does anyone know if I can only purchase Outlook
2007? I had Microsoft 2007 loaded automatically on my new computer I
purchased which included Excel, Word, PowerPoint but it did not include
Outlook.. I have always had Outlook and now I have been using Windows Mail -
I do not like it that much so if anyone can tell me how to purchase I would
appreciate it.

Thank you,

Linda
