Outlook deleting tasks at startup

[John]

Hi all,

I've just setup Outlook 2007 with Office SP2 in a VMWare Fusion box running
Windows 7 Ultimate on a Mac. However, every time I start Outlook it goes
through the process of deleting all my tasks and I can't work out why. I
have no rules in place that delete anything.

There appears to also be no way to stop it. I have to wait until all tasks
have been deleted and then go to Deleted Items and copy them all back to
Tasks again. Once I've done that, it's fine until I close Outlook and then
open it again.

I have a PC with exactly the same setup except it's running Windows XP and
it works fine.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
John
