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

Well, I just tried again to get Outlook to open twice, and it didn't, so
maybe I just imagined that!!  LOL

Anyway I agree with Andrew's approach - you have to just stop the
processes from the Task Manager and try over again.

Andrew, I'm surprised you've had it happen in OL 2003 as I thought that
was a glitch from 2000 that was fixed in later versions.  I guess not!
