What preferences file? Is there some hidden setting, someplace to control
this? From what I have read on this, and other forums, there isn't. They only
thing I have heard is to click the red X the first time you see it every time
you boot your machine.

This happens on 3 Macs, and with Entourage 2004, 2008, and 2008 SP1, all with
brand new identities.

How strange. The preference files are in ~/Library/Preferences and
~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft (where ~ represents your login name). But
before I fooled around with them, I would try running the utility Disk
Utility to Repair File Permissions on the disks to see if it makes a
difference. Perhaps Entourage can read whatever file maintains the status of
the Progress window but cannot write to it.

If you remove a relevant preference file, Entourage will rebuild it, but
without whatever nondefault preferences you set. Perhaps some of the MVPs
can give more information about preferences.
