The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Multiple processes of closed program [Outlook] still running

Asked by BRGTrident in Windows XP Operating System

Tags: still, outlook, process, running

"Outlook continues to run and appears in the Task Manager Process box after you quit Outlook."   I found a similar item [where I got the previous statement] in the FAQ re:OL98; I'm using OL2002 on a WinXPPRO machine.  Sometimes, I get one or two (or more) additional instances of OLXP after closing the one I was using.
I've made sure that no other users have anything open.  They do close when I terminate the process from the Task Manager, but sometimes when I reopen OL I get a message that it wasn't closed correctly and offers to open in safe mode- not consistently though, maybe 20% of the time.  It seems to not be happening as much since I've stopped allowing Mailwasher to turn on OL after it processes mail on the ISP server(s), but it does still happen.
The reason that this is a problem (other than the loss of memory resources) is that when my AVG updates and restarts overnight, if there is an instance of OL running, it stops until I close it/them.  This morning, without having OL running, there were 4 instances of OUTLOOK.EXE in the Task Manager processes list.
There are a few other processes that seem to be running when they're not, but I'm not sure if they are normal. Right now, with Outlook, IE6 and Mailwasher on my taskbar I also have WINWORD and 5 instances of svchost.exe [3x System, 1 Local and 1 Network service].  They don't seem to be causing any trouble, just noticing.
Any help appreciated.
