I was doing a system restore when the power went out. When i restarted the
somputer it took alot of time to get it to start. Once i fixed that i had to
re-install alot of programs and updates. After this whenever i open Outlook i
gat a message that the dynmic link GETIUMS@4 can not be located in the
dynamic link library MSDART.DLL. I have triued some of the fixe on this
website but they are not working. I tried to re-install MDAC 8.1 i think and
i was told that is wrong version for my computer so i got the evaluator tool
from Microsoft it said that i have MDAC 2.7 SP!. I am frustrated with outlook
alot. The thing that is really bad. When i try to delete a e-mail message i
get this message. When my computer starts up i get this message from msn
messsenger. What should i do next. Thanks
 
Are you sure you don't need MDAC 2.8? I think that's the latest version.

Also, why were you doing a system restore? What problem were you trying to
remedy?
 
MDAC 2.8 RTM is incompatible with this version of Windows. All of its
features are currently part of Windows.

This is the message i get when i run MDAC 2.8

I was doing a system restore to find a file that i had deleted. I am so
pissed that i ever did that darn move.

Use the Help -> Detect and Repair menu in Outlook. You'll need the
installation CD for Outlook or Office. Follow with a visit to Office
Updates.

Reboot using the installation CD and do a "repair" (aka in-place upgrade).
See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;315341. Follow
with a visit to Windows Updates.

MDAC 8.1 is listing only the non-major portion of the version number. It is
version *2*.8.1. For the download, MDAC [2.]8 is at
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=6c050fe3-c795-4b7d-b037-185d0506396c.

MSDART.DLL is a dynamic-link library file. Basically it is a file
containing code that defines a bunch of functions (sometimes also called
methods). The "link" into the file is the entry point by that name; i.e.,
the link in the DLL points at the start of the function by that name. That
way, a program can call a function to execute from within the DLL file.
This lets many programs share the same code because they all call the
function from the same file. So MSDART.DLL couldn't be found, it is
corrupted, or it is an old version that doesn't contain the new function
GETIUMS that got added in a later version.
 
That is what fixed. Thanks man i tried replacing that file like three times
and i tried the detect and repair but itried before i made a lot of the major
fixes to windows. So again thans man. I owe you one.
