Hello all,
Please read carefully, provide the right answer, and your check will be in
the mail.
Please rest assured it will happen. Microsoft recognizes this issue and
does not have a fix and so I need to take matters into my own hands.
While running Windows XP and Outlook 2007:
1.) Open OL in Calender view.
2.) Send yourself an email or just goto Tools, Account Settings, double
click your email account and click Test Account Settings.
3.) Click Send/Receive so the message downloads.
4.) Make certain you have received the message by looking for the picture of
the evelope in the lower right hand corner of the screen.
5.) Do not goto the Email View, open the message, or view the message in any
way.
6.) Lastly, click Start and Turn Off.
This is where you should get an End Program- Outlook.exe window. Windows
will not shut down without an answer from the user.
Please help me to find a way to get rid of this error. All six steps need
to be followed and the End Program error avoided for payment to be mailed.
By-the-way, this error occured on all seven brand new computers out of the
box without any type of security software or add-ins installed.
Thanks for your help.

Anyone who shuts their PC down without first closing the applications is
asking for trouble.

Dead easy. EXIT OUTLOOK PROPERLY before switching off.
There, that's seven machines at $100 each = $700. I take Paypal....

The computers are installed in work trucks. Our technicians are in and out
close to twenty times per day. The computers log off automatically when the
trucks are turned off. And that's when they crash.
The responses so far have been amusing though.

Then you will need to write a shutdown script that allows Outlook to
close gracefully before turning off Windows.

Fantastic, I'm glad there's an answer. Can you tell me how?

The shutdown script is for Windows. It will need to initate the shutdown
of the Outlook process, then wait until it's terminated.
I have never written a shutdown script, so I can't give you details.
However, once you start looking into this direction, there may even be
prewritten solutions.
