I have been having problems with Outlook 2003. Outlook has been hanging
and I
get the following message when shutting down Windows XP Pro, "WMS Ide
not
responding".

I have been try to resolve this the last couple weeks since installing
a Linksys
WRT54G wireless router and installing Spy Sweeper 4.5, the following
day.

Outlook 2003 is part of Office Professional Edition 2003 with Business
Contact Manager, running on XP Pro SP2. I use Web based mail for now
and don't think Exchange was installed. Windows Messenger is Disabled,
although the system tray has its icon with an "X".

I first suspected the SpySweeper installation and got a solution from
Webroot to " diable Spy Sweeper " at start up". This worked for 1 or2
boots.
now it's back with the hang and the WMS Idle- not responding at Shut
Down
or Restart.

Prior to disabling SS at startup. I had tried Outlook Repair. After
Reinstalling Office a couple times I was able to get Outlook up long
enough to Disable all the add-ins. That worked for a couple of boots,
then both WMS Idle stopped responding again and Outlook won't start
after reinstalling again.

I don't have the knowledge to interpet the Event Log, although I did
notice a warning related to "MSSQL$MICROSOFTBCM".

If anyone with experience with this issue could provide insight I would
greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

No need to ask more than once. If someone else has an idea, they'll respond
in the original thread.
