OneNote and Outlook stopped working together as an add-in.

[swissymom421]

I have tried everything from disabling the OneNote add-in and then restarting
computer and trying to reenable (which it does), but it continually crashes
Outlook and makes me disable OneNote again in order to use Outlook.

The only thing I did prior, was last week I made my Outlook Calender
available to (subscribing it) to a family member, via Microsoft Live.

I am using Vista, and Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007

I don't have any idea how to make the OneNote button on the quick access
toolbar ribbon on top work again. One time it had an error of H_key
something, but I did not get it all.

I would really appreciate any help I can get.
Thank you.

System restore may take you back to the point where that registry entry was
correct. One Note can be rightclicked on the list in Control Panel, Programs
and Features, to do a 'repair'

Hi, I went under Control Panel, Programs and Features to do a 'repair', but
I could not locate it in the list of programs separately. ( would it be
under the Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007 entry, would each program be listed
separately.) I don't want to make of mess of things.... I really appreciate
your help. I don't know if I want to do the system restore part, if I did
that wouldn't it erase everything I have on my computer, documents, email
etc. Would I lose everything? I am sorry for sounding so novice at this,
but I am

It would restore your settings to that point. if you installed anything
after that point, it would need reinstalling. I don't have Office 2007 and
don't know if OneNote is part of that, but it probably is.

Wow, that would cause me a tremendous amount of strife. What I did try
which you suggested is a repair, but along the way.. an error appear that
said something about BOOTSTRAPER and Microsoft was shutting down the repair.
Anyting on that?Thx

If the Repair feature is failing, you will need to uninstall and reinstall
office.

I tried the repair a second time and the repair of microsoft office ran
smoothly with no errors, but I was still getting the error H_Key Loal Machine
cannot be changed. So I guess the only thing left is to reinstall. Will
that cause me to lose my data files etc? This is so crazy as I don't know
why this would have occurred all of a sudden.

 

[swissymom421]

If I do uninstall and reinstall Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007, will I lose
all my data files, i.e. Email, documents, onenote files? I did not know if
it left the data files intact and just unstalled the program files, then when
you reinstall it will pickup on the data that was previously there. I just
want to know what I am in for prior to do the uninstall, then install.
Thanks.

Office uninstall leaves the data files as relics. If you installed it again,
using all the same default folders, it would find them again with little
effort on your part.

Hi I have tried the repairs and then uninstalled Microsoft Office 2007 and
reinstalled and I still have the same problem where the onenone cannot be
enabled as an add-in. Please if there is there is anything else that can be
suggested please let me know. Thanks
