I am having a similar problem. I want to exit Outlook so that I may setup
my
exchange account at my University. When trying to inititate the setup
(through mail in the control panel) it constantly tells me outlook is
running, and that i must exit.

I checked the Task Manager, it is open in the processes. Evertime I click
to end it, it reopens within seconds.... I Can't make it stay closed.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Actually mine DOES stay closed when I use the task manager to kill it off.
You could try downloading killbox which is a task stopper. I haven't tried
it under Vista as the task manager seems adequate.

I would be looking at what other 3rd party stuff depends upon Outlook 2007
that may be just instantly reloading it for you.
