Deleting COM Add-In that doesn't exist

[Pete]

I used file and settings transfer wizard to move data from my old computer
to my new computer. I am running Outlook 2003 under Windows XP. When I start
outlook it says .....outbak.dll is not a valid Office add-in. and then I get
a second box that says the same thing with ...sbcmsync.dll. When I
acknowledge these boxes the program starts. However, when I go to Com
Add-Ins and try to erase these problem add-ins, the same boxes pop-up before
the list is populated and when I acknowledge them - they aren't on the list.
How do I get rid of these annoying boxes?

Hi Pete,

have a look on this sites:

"Outbak.dll is not a valid Office add-in" error message when you start
Outlook 2002"
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/319900/en-us

You receive the "<Path> = <sbcmsync.dll> is not a valid Office add-in" error
message when you start Outlook 2000 or Outlook 2002

For Outlook 2003 the information must be also helpfull.

Maybe it helps.

Using WET will consistently corrupt your mail profile. You will need to create a new mail profile using Control Panel (Classic View) Mail Icon->Profiles->New.

Thank you very much - deleting the registry entries worked 100% and yes, WET
did cause me to have to fix some e-mail settings
