Check to see if you have any add-ins that are blocking Outlook from
terminating. You can verify this by removing all of the add-ins; verifying
that Outlook exists and then re-adding them to find the offending item.

Most, (but not all, whiich is real confusing) of the time when I shut down
Outlook 2007, running under Vista 64, it will not unload completely. In
task manager, it is not listed in apps but continues to run in processes.
It also continues to download mail. The only way to stop it is to kill it
in task manager, which occasionally makes it unhappy when starting back
up - messages that it was not terminated properly. It displays the new
mail icon in the task bar, but does NOT (I am fairly sure) display
reminders until the executable is started again. Any ideas of how to make
it unload completely when I shut it down?

Thanks,
