If it's any help, I've had the problem ever since I installed Office
2007 and was beginning to think I'd be better reverting to Office 2003
until some kind of fix is published but after reading through all the
threads in these discussion groups pertaining to the problem I thought
I'd try a few minor alterations myself and I believe I may have sorted
my particular problem at least!
With Reference to Milly's point 6. below; I use Kaspersky Internet
Security 6 and under Settings / Mail Anti-Virus I found the heading
Connectivity where there are two check boxes, both of which are
checked by default. One says 'Scan POP3/SMTP/IMAP/NNTP Traffic' and
the other says 'Enable Microsoft Outlook and The Bat! support'.
Guess what happened when I unchecked the Outlook option?...The data
file warning and check stopped!
It would appear there is definitely a problem with Outlook 2007 that
causes it to disagree with so many different programs. Hopefully it's
only a matter of time before a fix is published but until then my
interim fix will remain in place until I see the update that addresses
the issue.

Not always Microsoft's problem.

Some common reasons why Outlook will not shut down completely when
you click either the X or Exit:

1. PDA synchronization software with your PDA in the cradle.
2. WinFax Pro (especially 10.02 in Outlook 2003) - contact their
support for an alleged fix. 3. Franklin-Covey Plan Plus!
4. COM Add-ins.
5. Mail reminder add-ins that keep a stub of Outlook open in the
background to check for new mail and fire reminders. 6.
Anti-virus/firewall programs that are set to scan incoming and
outgoing mail. 7. The latest Skype update.

I had the same problem. In my case, the problem was caused by having a
backup software called Iomega Sync running in the background. It was
looking for changed files every few minutes, and apparently interfering
with the closing of the pst file.
