What happens when you open up Microsoft Outlook manually?

If for example you use Ouloook Express, then Outlook won't have been used.
Therefore the first time you open it, it will go through the setup wizards.
Therefore if the phone programs are trying to open it, it will hang.

From what you say about MS Exchange, it implies that you currently do use
Outlook. I would say that if there is a problem with two programs accessing
Outlook then chances are that there is something wrong with Outlook. Run
something else that automatically accesses Outlook and see if that still
works.

Yes, but a similar problem.

First of all, I haven't got MS Exchange on this machine, so can't comment on
that.

I've managed to synchronise my 6230 with Outlook using an IrDA connection
and Nokia's own PC Suite software (latest version). Now, I got the SyncML
problem but what I did to resolve it was to turn my phone's screen-saver
off. That somehow did something and the phone then "woke up" and started to
respond. I synchronised a good 150 contacts in seconds.
