Hi again,
There is a utility to fix the mapi32.dll file. This is a paste from MS support when I did a search on fixmapi:
Workaround
If the Fixmapi utility does not correct the error message, use the following steps:
Quit all open programs.
Rename the Mapi32.dll file in C:\Windows\System to Mapi32.old.
Locate the Fixmapi.exe file in C:\Windows\System, and then double-click Fixmapi.exe to run the program.
Restart your computer.
More Information
Traditionally, the Windows Messaging Subsystem (WMS) installs the core MAPI files in the C:\Windows\System folder. Earlier versions of Outlook access the files from that location; In Outlook 2000, the key MAPI files are stored in a common location.
"Simple Mapi" applications, such as Outlook Express, Eudora, Netscape, and other 3rd party applications install and access the Mapi32.dll file from C:\Windows\System. Applications that support "Simple MAPI" allow you to send documents by clicking Send To on the File menu.
The Mapi32.dll file in the System folder is also used by Microsoft Fax.
If the Microsoft Exchange System Manager (ESM) is installed on your computer, running Fixmapi.exe fixes Microsoft Outlook, but it also breaks the ESM. If you have the ESM installed, please follow the steps in the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
Q243659 XFOR: Exchange Migration Wizard Stops Responding After You Use Outlook 2000
Specifically, follow the steps to add the FixMAPI value to the registry. If you have already run Fixmapi.exe and the ESM is broken as a result, reinstall the ESM and then follow the steps shown in Q243659.
*** Me again, I think you can find the fixmapi.exe on your cd, but may be able to download it also. I know how frustrating that mapi error is. Hope THIS gets you there.
