OUTLOOK 2003, Windows XP and STANDBY problem

[Guest Dilson]

Dear All,

 

I am facing a strange problem on one of my friends laptop. The laptop fails

to go on standby after OUTLOOK 2003 has been executed (doing a send &

receive). After a cold boot as long OUTLOOK is not started, the system can go

on STANDBY and back. But once OUTLOOK has been started and then quit, the

system just stays with the desktop showing, no matter how log you leave the

system ON. It does not go onto STANDBY anymore. Has anyone come across this

problem? Please suggest what is the best way to resolve this issue.

Open Task Manager and in Processes look to see if Outlook.exe is

actually still running. If so "End Process" and then try stand by.
