Many of us still use Microsoft Outlook 2003 as our standard Email application or client. It works pretty smoothly and does a great job, but I started finding that it was occasionally crashing and generally not behaving in the rock-steady manner I had become used to.
After opening the Task Manager (see other posts) I spotted the problem. Outlook was running in more than one instance! This should not happen and is bound to cause problems and strange behavior. I tried closing Outlook down, but it was still showing as running in the Task Manager!
I closed down the running instances by highlighting them in the Task Manager and shutting them down one by one.

Did it work? For the moment yes, but as the next time I ran Outlook, I looked back in the Task manager, and there was another instance of it running again!
OK, so here’s the fix!
