Outlook Not Working!

[Robert]

Everytime I open Outlook I get this error: “Connot start Microsoft Office
Outlook. MAPI32.DLL is corrupt or the wrong version. This could have been
caused by installing other messaging software. Please reinstall Outlookâ€. I
have done this and it still gives me that error. All of the other MS Office
2003 Pro Software is working fine what can I do.

Hi Robert,

sounds like that another office application used mapi32.dll. Now this
application is uninstalled but the mapi32.dll wasnt properly removed. Send
you a microsoft Knowledge Base article about that to rename the file:

Hello Robert,

try to do the following steps:
- from the command line: -> click start -> run -> type cmd -> type "regsvr32
/u mapi32.dll"
- now you should have the Office 2003 CD -> copy the mapi32.dll from the CD
to the following location as the old mapi and replace it:
"C:\WINDOWS\system32" and "C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\1033"
- from the command line: -> click start -> run -> type cmd -> type "regsvr32
mapi32.dll"

your sincerely
