Are you running Windows XP Professional, with IIS installed? If so, read
here:

Also, see "W3ext Module" paragraph in this page:

Dear Ramesh

Thanks for the reply.
Re-installing IIS helped me.
Reminds me the vb4 days where every problem was solved by re-installing
office....

FYI: It also solved another problem I had: The network icon did not appear
on the system tray unless I went to the control panel->networking or started
outlook.

Thanks again
Guy
