Outlook 2000 pop-ups

[monkswood]

I have done a clean re-install of Win XP and Office 2000. I successfully imported a saved file with Outlook settings, mail and address book, using the XP facility. All now works well, except that at start up the Outlook screen has two pop up screens (overlaid) labelled OUTLOOK with the message:-

C:\documents and settings\EWB\Application data\microsoft\Addins\Crogram files\MICROS~2\Office\addins\outback.dll is not a valid office add-in.

The second screen is similarexcept for the final file name.

Have searched for the file using windows explorer, with no success.

Has anyone any ideas of what I could do next?

Thanks

Open Outlook then navigate to Tools, Options, Other tab, Avanced Options button, Add-In Manager button, and deselect the problem add-in. If you're not sure which is causing the problem, just try one at a time & test.

Thanks for the advice, I did as you suggest and removed two add ins. No effect. Just to be certain I restarted the PC, no effect.

While in the window I also checked the button 'Com add ins' there was nothing in the window, but opening it caused the two pop ups to reappear.

Thanks again for your efforts.

This may be related to the Outlook backup add-in available from MSoft - other resources suggest a registry fix may be in order.
