I am appreciative of your message, but doing exactly as you suggested had no effect on Outlook causing a restart when I come out of Standby if it had been running or minimized when I went into Standby. I had deleted all add-ins also. The machine was faster on startup when I followed your suggestions but I have had to re-institute some of the processes ie Keyboard, mouse, ATI, Soundmax.
Many thanks,
