fxsext32.dll error in Outlook
28-Apr-07
I found how to get rid of this message in Outlook 2007, I am not sure if the steps will be the same in Outlook 2003.
Go to:
Tools/Trust Center/Add-ins button
At the bottom there is a "Manage Drop-Down" "COM Add-ins" may be selected by default.
Change this drop-down to "Exchange Client Extensions" and click "Go"
You will see an Add-In Manager dialog box with an option for "FaxExtension"
I uncheced this box and clicked "ok".
Closed Outlook and relaunched. Message has not returned.
Hope this helps.

I am running Vista and Oultook 2003. When I send e-mail the above message
appears. I have tried the detect and repair option with no success. Any
ideas? I was able to find a resolution for XP but not Vista.
Close Outlook. Find and rename extend.dat.

Thanks Russ. But you will have to dumb that down for me.

Can't.
Can't. You did not provide your OS nor the steps you used to create the
problem.
From:
http://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/vistaupgrade.htm:
Reset outcmd.dat and extend.dat
This will reset the toolbar settings and the add-in registry cache. Rename
these files to .old. By default you can find them here;
outcmd.dat: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Outlook
extend.dat: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook
The files are automatically recreated the next time you start Outlook.

I think I'm going back to XP. I have too many other issues such as the

Thanks for you help Russ.

mentioned the screen freezes causing a hard reboot and at times Outlook times
out and will not send messages. I am interested if it resolves those issues
and does not leave me with a 25 pound paper weight on my desk.

Any idea how to retrieve the old e-mails from 'windows.old'?

Not sure what you mean by "windows.old"
I assume you kept a copy of your Outlook data file. The file you need is
your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the mail, calendar,
contacts etc are stored.
Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:

Windows.old appears to contain the guts of XP. It was created after the

trouble free so far (and Outlook).

Re: fxsext32.dll error in Outlook
WIndows.old is the renamed Windows folder that results from doing a clean
install without erasing the contents of the disk during hte install. The
WIndows installation keeps it around in case you want to revert. As such,
the old PST certainly won't be there.

Brian,
I have retreived what I needed. Any sense in keeping Windows.old? It must
use alot of disk space. This computer was new and Vista ready when
purchased. As a result 'Windows.old' just did not contain much data.
