Outlook Error from Photoshop???

[Jeanne Hedge]

I'm running a truly ancient version of Photoshop (4.0) on a WinXP Pro
(SP 1) machine. Photoshop opens fine, but whenever I try to do
anything I get this error message from MICROSOFT OUTLOOK (Outlook 2000
SP-3, 9.0.0.6627):



Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client
cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and
set it as the default mail client.



I don't use Outlook for mail, Eudora is my default and they've been
peacefully co-existing for years (I don't even have accounts set up in
Outlook). I'll ask this same question on a Photoshop group, but does
anyone have any ideas why Outlook would start complaining about mail
clients and messaging requests when it's not open and I'm working in
Photoshop?

it's a known issue and one of the Photoshop groups or sites may know other
fixes... it's fairly common problem when you have outlook and Eudora
installed and relates to the mapi Eudora installs.

If you don't use outlook at all, rerun setup and remove it (choose the
option for custom setup and uncheck or unmark outlook).

Thanks for the info, Diane. I really don't want to remove Outlook, as
I use the task, calendar and address book (non-email) functions. Maybe
I'll look into another app for that sort of thing.

The Photoshop groups have been mute on the subject so far, I'll just
keep asking.

yeah.... if you are using, you don't want to remove it - I think the other
fix is to set outlook as default, but someone more experienced with the
issue might have a better idea.
