hi,

thanks for your reply.
Yes, i have Microsoft outlook installed on my computer.
i have MS office standard + sp2 installed.

what im currently doing, to override the problem untill ill find a solution, is saving the file to my desktop and then right click the file choose 'send to' and then choose 'Mail recipient', which complicate things.

What i also tried is to rename the MAPI32.dll file to MAPI32.dll.old, then repair my windows xp. the repair did place a new copy of the file, but i still get this error.

when i search for solution for my problem i saw a lot of adds telling me to download a mapi file repair. but i dont like doing that cause 1) those kind of files are always payable 2) im being redirected to site i dont like (might have something on them)
any tool u know that i can dl to repair MAPI32.dll file? (if this is the problem)

thanks a lot,
Eli
