Why won't Outlook 2000 close?

I use Outlook 2K as my email and scheduler program in win 98SE. about a month ago It started not closing fully when I try to close it. it closes but continues to run in the background. the only way to fully close it is to use ctrl-alt-del (several times) it seems like this is some "improvement" from MS so you can still receive email when it's closed. is there a way to disable it so when I close my program it closes fully.
I've tried repairing it. I want to avoid uninstalling and doing a clean install if possible.

Thanks
 
Is Outlook attempting to finish some task when you exit such as emptying Deleted Items? Most likely, it is getting 'stuck' in trying to complete trash-emptying/archiving/etc. and will probably end completely once they are done, unless outlook.exe is waiting for some type of user input (even an <enter>) even though the gui isn't available.

it's not stuck, it's like it is running in the background. if I watch my system tray it will still download my email. and if I click my outlook icon it opens up again almost instantly.
really annoying
