What happens when you try to terminate outlook.exe? are there multiple
instances running?

Often its AV intergration that causes Outlook not to terminate properly

At times I have a process that simply stops. Mainly it's been either
Firefox or Outlook 2007. I attempt to terminate the process in Windows
Task Manager to no avail. The only way to recover is to go through a
reboot which is, needless to say, a pain in the derriere. I just
completed building my system which consists of the following:

OS: Windows Vista Ultimate Service Pack 1 (build 6001)
Processor: 3.15 gigahertz Intel Core2 Duo
MB: ASUSTeK Computer INC. Rampage Formula Rev 1.xx (not overclocked)
Mem: 4 gigabytes DDR2
Video: NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT

All parameters, temps and voltages are well within the normal.

I'm wondering if anyone else is seeing this issue and if there is
something I'm missing on terminating the stopped processes.

Thanks in advance.

Actually, nothing happens. There aren't multiple instances running. The
process simply sits there. CPU usage doesn't change.

Same thing for Firefox.

So apparently no one has any suggestions or thoughts on this matter. Not
even from the MVPs here?

I'm no MVP, but my best guess is a memory fault that at some point while
running these applications you access. Have you run memory diagnostics on
the machine? If not, you can play with the memory chips on your
motherboard. With 4GB I assume you have 4 memory chips. Try removing the
top two GB's and see if the problem still occurs. If so, swap the two you
removed for the two still in there and try again. If it STILL persists then
it's probably not a memory chip. But if the problem disappears while a
particular chipset is out of the computer then you know it's in that pair.

Hope this is helpful.

Thank you for the information. I haven't run memory diagnostics directly,
but no diagnostic tool I've run so far has indicated a possible memory
problem. I will try your suggestion. You're correct that I have 4 memory
sticks. I had them in my old Dell XPS Gen3 and in an attempt to save a few
$s on my new system, canabalized them.

Well another thing to think about, since you cannibalized the chips, is that
maybe they're not fast enough for the new computer. If they are, but are a
different speed that what's in there, make sure the speeds are paired. Many
motherboards have different color memory slots to indicate paired slots, but
typically they're side-by-side, so the first two go together and the last
two go together. If you have speeds mixed within pairs that could also
cause this.
