Default Unable to switch Between Profiles in Outlook 2003

Unique problem. Unable to swap profiles in Outlook 2003. There are six profiles but once outlook is run it just logs into the top choice. I have it setup to allow me the choice to pick one when I log in but its not working. Now the crazy thing, when you log into safe mode it comes up and asks everytime. If I try to close outlook it will just load the same profile back up when I run outlook again.

Any ideas how to make it so it will always ask which profile to run?

Configure Outlook to prompt you for a specific profile when the program starts

Open the Mail Setup dialog box.
How?

In Microsoft Windows XP

In Control Panel, click User Accounts, and then click Mail.
Note If you are using Control Panel Classic View, double-click Mail.
In Microsoft Windows 2000

In Control Panel, double-click Mail.
Note The Mail icon won't appear unless you have Outlook installed and you have started it at least one time.

Click Show Profiles.
Under When starting Microsoft Office Outlook, use this profile, click Prompt for a profile to be used.


Note You cannot change to another profile while Outlook is running. You have to restart Outlook to switch profiles.


When Outlook starts, click the profile that you want to use in the list.

Note Switching profiles means that you are changing which e-mail accounts and settings are available to you in an Outlook session. On the other hand, switching e-mail accounts means that you are sending e-mail by using another e-mail account and address available in the same profile.

Thank you for the response.... Although...

If you read my post again, youll see that that is already set correctly. it works great in safe mode or outlook safe mode. Running normal it will just keep logging into the same account.

Edit... NVM I just recreated all of the profiles. that fixed it.
