Borland Database Engine Stopping Microsoft Outlook from Working

[Guest]

I bought a new laptop with Windows Vista Home Basic o/s. I was able to
install a Microsoft Outlook 2007 on it and it was working nicely. Then I
tried to install Corel Wordperfect 9 on the laptop but the installation
failed with an error message "Borland Database Engine Could not be
installed". After this incidence whenever I try to open my Microsoft Outlook
I get the error message "Borland Database Engine not installed. Can't Load
Address Book." and then Outlook will close on its own. I have uninstalled
the Wordperfect9 program but still get this error message and hence cannot
use the OUtlook. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Microsoft office
2007 but the problem is still there. What can I do to solve this problem. I
cannot read my mails from the laptop and I am desperate. Somebody come to my
rescue please.

Locate a file named EXTEND.DAT and either delete or rename it, then try
launching outlook again.

I've also seen reports that creating a new Outlook profile will clear the
error

My problem is that the security certificate is keeping me from getting into
college site for my course that I'm taking. I cannot get in to do my
homework. I don't know what to do.

So you jumped on a thread thats 2 years old.
Not only is the thunderbird problem unrelated to outlook, but the Outlook
problem is unrelated to the Vista group you have posted to

If you really mean Outlook you are posting in the wrong newsgroup.
The newsgroup to which you posted is for the Windows Mail program.
You are more likely to find Outlook experts in the Outlook newsgroup:

microsoft.public.outlook.general (via NNTP), or via the web:
