Outlook 2000 hangs on exit

Here is the PATCH for this related KB article -

When you try to quit Microsoft Outlook 2000, you receive the following message and Outlook 2000 does not quit:

Please wait while Microsoft Outlook exits.

Worked for me, too. Thanks.

Worked perfectly...

First install o2kSP3

Then copy the patch folder to the desktop
RUN: msiexec /p "c:\documents and settings\%username%\desktop\outlookpatchfolder\Outlookff.msp"

Thanks !

I have SPK4 installed on Win2k, and running outlook 2k. I also receive the message to please wait while outlook exits... this hangs and I have to manually kill this app. Do I need this patch as well?

[Nick]

Never mind the last note. I saved the patch to the outlook dir, and ran from here. This time it worked. Thank you Neal!

[Dave]

Anyone know if there is a similar patch for the same problem but with Outlook 98 rather than 2K?

[richard]

[Jim]

[Jason]

To sound like everybody else, this patch works like a charm. Thanks!

Works like a charm, sr-1 and then sp3 are a must

Thanks

The UK says cheers for that patch. Microsoft really do take the biscuit. I tried to get the patch and they give me the blow-off saying I had to pay for it. Unbelievable

Hmmm I thought....the fact my company has already forked out for 150 Office 2000 licenses is not good enough for Microsoft!! Down with MS, and pray lets get some apps that actaully work.

Thanks again.

Jim

[Jim]

This corrected a hanging problem when the client didn't like Outlook 2003 and I had to change back to Outlook 2000. This patch is now a part of my toolkit. Thanks.

[Robert]

You truly saved my bacon

[Mike Alexander]

thanks for the patch. Running Outlook 2000 on Citrix Presentation Server 4, and outlook closes after a brief pause, as opposed to it hanging prior to SP1a and the patch. Thanks again for the web site!

[PhilMoore]

Thanks.

Extracted to c:\temp\patch
Run: msiexec /p "c:\temp\patch\outlookff.msp"

It worked for me.

WinME, O2K,

[Mike Jones]

Well, I must be the only one it doesn't work for. When I close Outlook 2K and then check the tasks running - it is still there ! Have tried all sorts of patches and can get nowhere. Anyone else got any bright ideas?
