Recently upgraded Office 2003.  Now my tasks are defaulted as recurring, with
the "Remove Recurrance" button greyed out.   How do I change the default to
non recurring tasks?
Thanks in advance.

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.

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?

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'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.

My Dell laptop created occuring tasks out of new appointments in office 2007. I read elsewhere here that an old problem was the existance of OutlookAddinsetup by cyberlink. I saw it was installed on my PC and uninstalled it. The recurrence problem went away.

Hope this helps.
