This is really not an Outlook bug - it's caused by an add-in Dell ships
with their laptops that support Media Direct.
This application installs an Outlook add-in called "Outlook Setup Addin"
which is causing problems for some users. This add-in supports the Instant
Office feature of Media Direct. Uninstall it from Control panel, Add and
Remove Programs to prevent the problem with future meeting requests.
Along with causing meeting requests to become recurring, it doesn't work
well with Outlook 2007 and is responsible for at least some of the
complaints about Outlook 2007's slowness and CPU resources spiking.
So what is MediaDirect and Instant Office? It's a way to quickly view
certain items on the computer when the computer is powered down. It's a
pretty cool idea, too bad it doesn't play nicely with Outlook.
Description of the MediaDirect feature taken from the Dell website:
=======
Dell Exclusive: MediaDirect featuring Instant Office Dell MediaDirect puts
your media and more at your fingertips. Now it also gives you "instant on"
access to your calendar, contacts and presentations. With the computer off,
one press of the MediaDirect button gives you quick access to items on your
hard drive, optical drive, a USB key or from the integrated 5-in-1 media
card, including:
Videos
Music

"Instant Office" featuring Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer, Microsoft Outlook
and Outlook Express Calendar Viewer, and Microsoft Outlook and Outlook
