Try starting Outlook in Safe Mode (Start -> Run -> type "outlook /safe"
[without the parenthesis]), then go to the Add-in Manager and remove the
offending add-in.

I can open Outlook, but I am getting the same error message about fldpub.ecf.
This has been happening for about 10 days. I went to the Add-ins and
disabled everything except my Virus protection program (Kaspersky). How do I
correct this problem? I have never used the Net Sharing add-in that it is
connected to, can I just find and delete the file?
