Error message when Microsoft Outlook is closed

Running on Windows 2000, professional. When I shut down Microsoft Outlook, it gives me an error message that windows is shutting Outlook down, and I will need to restart. Sorry to admit, but I'm too dumb to even find where it writes the error, though I have combed the log, and such. Anyway, have done the repair bit, but no luck. Does anyone have a clue what I should do next. I'm about to pull my hair!

I may need more than advice and someone to hold my hand, I need a real hero at this point. Please, please is anyone out there?

Ernie E. Dennis, Thanks!
