I've never seen outlook create recurring tasks on its own. What brand of
computer is it? Do you have any addins or utilities installed that access
outlook data - this includes vista gadgets, PDAs/smartphones etc.

I downloaded online updates to my existing Outlook 2003 because it kept
freezing, and I got a message that there was an update that fixed the
problem. (It didn't, still freezing). After the updates, all my tasks
are
repeating tasks.

I'd start with a new profile. This probably won't stop the recurrence but
may allow you to change it.

Do you have any add-ins installed? Did you upgrade to Outlook 2003 or
from
2003 to 2007?

No, same computer.

Outlook kept freezing, so I upgraded it, and now my tasks are all
repeating,
with the "Remove Recurrence" button greyed out. Just got my schedule
mixed
up because of a previous task/appointment I scheduled last time was
repeated
automatically on my calendar. Now, all my tasks/appointments repeat,
and
it's difficult to remove the Repeat.

Thanks in advance.
