Whenever I open up Outlook 2002 and it does it's send/receive thing, it gets stuck on "synchronizing files" and never completes the process. This slows down all activity in Outlook to a snail's pace (at best) and then slows down everything else on the PC too. Occasionally (30% of the time?) I get an error message when I open Outlook that my Personal Folders did not shut down properly. Other times I get a message, upon opening Outlook, asking if I'm sure I want to permanently delete all of the items in my Deleted Items folder. The only way to resolve the issue is to close down Outlook and reboot. I don't experience any PC problems as long as I leave Outlook closed.
PLEASE HELP!! My life is in Outlook Contacts and the Calendar and it's wrecking havoc for me not to be able to use them.
