[mso] Re: Outlook 2000 loading, but not showing?

I am pretty sure this is a known glitch in Outlook 2000, where the
OUTLOOK.exe process starts running, but the application never actually
opens.  Not sure if there's a fix out there for it though.  Maybe
someone else knows the answer to that?

I do know that you can run multiple instances of the Office apps though
- if they load properly.  I've had several instances of Outlook running
before and there's nothing wrong with it, it's just clearly wasteful as
you said.  I had opened Outlook twice without realizing it.=20
