MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / November 2004Outlook 2000 problems
My outlook seems to be running even though it has not been started. OS=Windows 2000 Professional Outlook 2000 SP3. Even from a fresh powerup or restart, Outlook is not in my startup menu folder, it will give me notifications that new mail has arrived. I know that the experts say this can't be done but it is driving me crazy and my email is being cleared off the server due to it. This machine is also running PC Anywhere 10.0.3 (for remote access) and WinFAX Pro 10.02 all the time to handle these services. Other outlook symptoms are: Not deleting files (after a while in my deleted folder even though option is selected. Occasional fatal error and I get a message that outlook is shutting down even though it is not running. Outlook may not restart, foring a restart to clear. Thanks Why would you not suspect WinFax Pro? Look at your add-ins. Bet it's there. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > My outlook seems to be running even though it has not been started. > OS=Windows 2000 Professional [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Thanks Russ, Thanks for the reply but I am not sure what you mean here by add-ins. Can you be more specific, sounds like you have heard of this before. Joe Golan > Why would you not suspect WinFax Pro? > Look at your add-ins. Bet it's there.

Look in your Add-in manager for the WinFax Pro extensions (Tools > Options > Other > Advanced Options...)

Nothing is there that relates to this problem. Besides this used to work fine, it is only recently that things have gone amok and I did not upgrade WinFAX from the original install. Any other ideas?

Even though one update might fix it, the next will cause the problem to return. I doubt Symantec has done anything to keep current versions compatible with the outdated versions of Outlook like you're using. You can look at other COM Add-ins if you want and synchronization software, but if I were you I'd be checking with Symantec.
