Outlook 2007 Configuration

[...FSM]

I had to reload MS Office 2007 after reloading the Vista Operating system on
my Dell laptop due to a malfunction of virus. After reinstalling Office I
received the following message when trying to open Outlook: The extension
configuration file "C:\program files\MS Office\Office\Addins\fldpub.ecf"
cannot be installed. There is an error in the syntax or format of the file.

Also, when I tried to install Outlook again by selecting Add or Remove
Features on the installation disk, it shows MS Outlook with a red X which
means, "Not Available".

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem?

Thanks,

...FSM

Did you upgrade from outlook 2000? That file is for net folders, which were
removed beginning in 2002.

Find and delete extend.dat - see
http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/filepath.htm if you can't find it.
