Outlook 2000 opens multiple times on user PC's

We recently installed Office 2000 on a bunch of new W98 PC's at an office. When users open Outlook, it opens normal and they can access mail. However, if you look at the program manager, it shows that there are several (5-7) instances of Outlook open. As you know, 1 copy of Outlook eats a lot of system resources, so you can imagine what several does. We don't have this problem with PC's in our Office which were installed using the same network install.
Any advice before I end up trying a re-install? Thanks.

Try this:

Close all instances, hit start-run and type outlook.exe /regserver and hit enter. You may need to include the path to the executable.
