I don't know what Plaxo is. If it doesn't happen in safe mode, then it's likely you have some misbehaving add-in causing the problem. Look in the Add-In Manager (Tools>Trust Center>Add-Ins) and disable all the add-ins. Reenable each one at a time and test again. Eventually you should find the add-in causing the problem. It wouldn't hurt to close and restart Outlook between each trial so that everything loads cleanly each time. That's what I'd do, anyway. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] How do you disable the add-ins?
The add-ons listed are: Google desktop toolbar Microsoft exchange unified messaging Microsoft Office sharepoint server colleague import Miscrosoft outlook mobile service ShareO (a program that allows our two computers to share the information in Outlook) Timeslips (our office billing program) Windows search email indexer (which is only working on one of the two computers....but that's another story) Xobni (an email search program installed because Windows search email indexer wasn't working!)

It could be one of the others, though. > -- > Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] It occurred to me that this problem started around the time I installed the
up-dated ShareO software, so I wrote to them about the problem. I thought I would pass their response on in case others were having similar issues: "This is a known Outlook problem, because sometimes it sets itself as "on top" window, and all other windows go behind it. This would be happening with or without our software. However, you could try to start Outlook.exe with /cleanprofile option. Close MS Outlook, right mouse click on Outlook shortcut and add " /cleanprofile" at the end of target field. Try to start MS Outlook, it will not load because of that option. Then remove that option and try to start MS Outlook again. : There suggested resolution seems to be working .... so far.
