No, it isn't happening in safe mode ! I don't know what Plaxo is.

If you don't know what Plaxo is, then you probably don't have it.

If it doesn't happen in safe mode, then it's likely you have some
misbehaving add-in causing the problem. Look in the Add-In Manager
(ToolsTrust CenterAdd-Ins) and disable all the add-ins. Reenable each one
at a time and test again. Eventually you should find the add-in causing the
problem. It wouldn't hurt to close and restart Outlook between each trial
so that everything loads cleanly each time. That's what I'd do, anyway.

How do you disable the add-ins?

The add-ons listed a

Google desktop toolbar
Microsoft exchange unified messaging
Microsoft Office sharepoint server colleague import
Miscrosoft outlook mobile service
ShareO (a program that allows our two computers to share the information in
Outlook)
Timeslips (our office billing program)
Windows search email indexer (which is only working on one of the two
computers....but that's another story)
Xobni (an email search program installed because Windows search email
indexer wasn't working!)

Aren't there check boxes next to their names? I'm not at my OL 2007 system
right now and I don't recall how this dialogue appears.

The add-ons listed a

Google desktop toolbar

This is the first one I'd suspect. It could be one of the others, though.

No, there are no check boxes and no right-click option.

It occurred to me that this problem started around the time I installed the
up-dated ShareO software, so I wrote to them about the problem. I thought I
would pass their response on in case others were having similar issues:

"This is a known Outlook problem, because sometimes it sets itself as "on
top" window, and all other windows go behind it. This would be happening
with or without our software. However, you could try to start Outlook.exe
with /cleanprofile option. Close MS Outlook, right mouse click on Outlook
shortcut and add " /cleanprofile" at the end of target field. Try to start
MS Outlook, it will not load because of that option. Then remove that option
and try to start MS Outlook again. :

There suggested resolution seems to be working .... so far.
