outlook error message re: "c:/windows/system32/fxsext32.dll

[heruns]

I've been getting the error message recently,
"c:/windows/system32/fxsext32.dll could not be installed or loaded". I
searched a bit on the internet and was led to believe that it has something
to do with the FAX service. I went to Admin Tools/Services and there is no
listing for any type of FAX service. I'm hoping someone can lead me in the
right direction in solving this problem.
I am running Windows Vista 32. If you need more information, let me know.
Thank you.

Remove the add-in from your profile. Method depends on your Outlook version,
which you failed to post. I'm sure you can figure it out for yourself.

I located the file on the internet and put it in the System 32 folder. I
assume it will work.

Not bloody likely since that is not the usual cause of this error message.
Perhaps you will be lucky.

I looked in my system32 directory and fxsext32.dll was not there. I'm trying
to determine if simply putting it in the directory will solve the "bloody"
problem. Your previous suggestion ("Remove the add-in from your profile.
Method depends on your Outlook version, which you failed to post. I'm sure
you can figure it out for yourself.") assumed that I know how to remove the
add-in from my profile and I don't know how to do that (maybe I do and just
don't know it). If you had asked for my Outlook version, I would have
certainly posted it. It's Outlook 2003 (11.8169.8172) SP3.
If you don't think my solution will work, what do you suggest and how
might I accomplish it? I appreciate your help.
By the way, the link in the notification email didn't work and so I had
to wind my way through the MS help process. I'm glad I found my way back. I
will bookmark it now.

I looked in the help section of Outlook and I disabled the fax option (under
tools/other/advanced options/ uncheck fax). I hope that works. If it does, I
guess you know more about me than I do about myself. Thanks for the
confidence builder.

That's the first thing to try.

Well, so far I haven't had any occurences.

But the problem is not the lack of the system file, it is an invalid add-in
reference in your profile--usually caused by migrating your Outlook data and
settings incorrectly to another installation. To get to the root of this and
other problems, you'll need to figure out what corrupted your add-in
settings in the first place and fix it.
