Unfortunately I could not install the hotfix for KB974994 as I got an
error message. BTW the hotfix doe'nt seem to solve this issue and I
don't suffer for the other points.
Thanks
Manlio

Right, I didn't think it would since its not mentioned in the list of things
it fixes. AFAIK, it hasn't been fixed yet.

Hi Brian,
You'll find the Outlook version no. in a previous msg.
About what I did to hunt the failure ... I am unable to rebuild the
many attempts I made. Nevertheless I may say that when I have the
Desktop alerts not working, then if I close Outlook 2007 Its icon
remains for long time indication the closing has been locked by
something. Then to close definitely Outlook I have to launch it again
(despite the previous closing is on its run) and then again close the
program, that is immediate. Don't forget I have practically no addins
or other programs interfering with Outlook, according to published
lists.
When I test the desktop alerts during the lock closing phase, they
don't work.
After having regained the fast closing of Outlook, if I test the
desktop alerts they work perfectly.
For the above I argued then there is a relation between the closing
and the desktop alerts.
Hope it's enough clear ... :-))
Manlio

Sorrt, but no. I looked back through the thread. You've posted exactly two
messages in this thread and neither contains the Outlook version.

Do you still bee it in Task Manager's Proceses display?

You still didn't state the account type. See this for ways to diagnose why
Outlook doesn't close:

I see now that there are later messages in the thread in which you did state
the Outlook version.
