RSS feeds not updating (OL2007)

I imported my RSS feeds over the weekend, and after a day of thinking that
some of the blogs had gone quiet I've realised that not all the feeds are
updating (Using my old agregator s/w I realise I'm hundreds of posts
adrift) Any sugestions??

Hi Gordon,

What happens when you close and reopen Outlook and then press
send/receive?

Patrick,
I'd done this and also rebooted with no improvement, but after further
playing around I've discovered that there are send / receive errors eg:

Task 'RSS Feeds' reported error (0xF1740155) : 'Outlook cannot download the
RSS content from http://blogs.msdn.com/joe_friend/rss.aspx because of a
problem connecting to the server. An OLE registration error occurred. The
program is not correctly installed. Run Setup again for the program.'

That aren't being reported at the end of send / receive.

Looks like I've got to re-install OL anyway, so I'll see if that fixes the
problem.

Good luck, I spent the best part of a week trying to fix this problem with
the built in RSS Reader and ended up giving up and going back to my stand
alone RSS Reader.
 
Hi Gordon,

Microsoft Office Diagnostics might solve the problem without
reinstalling (All Programs, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Office Tools).
Before you run it, you might want to delete all RSS feeds (or export
them to an OPML file), run it, and recreate them (or import the OPML
file). You probably should also delete all the subfolders of RSS
Subscriptions. To be safe, deleting the Outlook.sharing.xml.obi might
also be a good idea (this file stores the index of subscriptions and is
rebuilt automatically). The file is in Documents and
Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
If Office Diagnostics doesn't solve your problem, you probably have to
reinstall. Make sure you have no RSS subscriptions in Outlook when you
do so.
Let me know if you still have problems after all of this.

See my latest reply to his problem. Maybe that might help you as well?

Tried Office Diagnostics, removign all feeds and rebuilding them, AND
reinstalling Outlook from scratch and still have the same issue :-(
 
Can you try the following and see if that solves the problem:
Try registering OLE32.dll. To do this, from a command line run
"regsvr32 %windir%\system32\ole32.dll".
Please let me know if this helped or not.

Thanks,

Patrick Schmid
 
Patrick,

I tried a combination of deleting all of my feeds from within Outlook
(including the folders under the RSS Feeds folder), exiting outlook,
registering OLE32.dll and then reimporting my OPML file in Outlook.

This seems to have solved the problem. If the solution sticks past the
couple of days that it worked after the install remains to be seen, but at
least it is a start.

Thanks for you help
