Outlook process will not exit

[macman64]

I am in the process of switching to exchange. I switched one person
over and now when they close outlook the process does not close. It
still runs in task manager. This means i can't open outlook until I end
the process. Any ideas? We have both trendmicro and cybersitter
installed. I unloaded trendmicro and disabled cybersitter. I even ended
all processes for those two programs still have the same problem. I
have this problem on all the windows 2000 computer i have tried its
outlook 2003. I am out of ideas. I don't think I have any more 3rd
party outlook things installed. Any ideas?

Do you have ActiveSync running to sync Outlook to a portable device?

No I do not ahve any portable devices. I also tried it under the
default "administrator" user same problem. But I found out today that
it does not do it on the one XP machine that I tried. I only difference
I can think of with this machine other then being on XP, is that all
other machines at one time in were running office 2000. Could this
have anything to do with it? I have gone over that one site and it has
not helped I found that site a couple days ago. I have been searching
the net for days trying things listed but non of the things have helped.

Nonetheless, you have some add-in or other application that is somehow
keeping Outlook open. I suggest you log into Windows while gholding down a
Shift key so that none of the startup applications (in the registry and the
Startup program group) run and see what happens with Outlook. You can then
selectively start those apps one at a time until you find the one
interfering with Outlook.
