Outlook won't load after Add-in

Hi

I coded my first addin to search for tiff files in the
attachments of a MailItem, and display them when the mail
is selected (for faxes) via a shell execute command
(Win32 APIs) from within the add-in.

However, after the last debug run (VB6.0) where I finally
coded all functionality, I unloaded outlook and VB. The
next time I tried to run, Outlook 2000 Pro reported that
it couldn't load because of file errors:

AppName: outlook.exe AppVer: 9.0.0.6604 ModName:
ntdll.dll
ModVer: 5.1.2600.1106 Offset: 0000178d

I've tried repairing and reinstalling both Outlook,
Office, and then SP1 for my XP machine. I've tried
deleting all registry keys referring to Outlook aswell.
But I still can't get outlook to load. HELP!!!!

The only thing I canthink to do is to rebuild my machine,
but that can't be the solution (can it?!!!) for a
development problem. What do I do next time I debug my
add-in, rebuild my machine every time?!!!

Please help. I can't find anything relevant on the
supports sites.

PS: I'm a bit despirate, so I appologise for posting to a
few Outlook-related groups.
