Default Outlook 2002 crashing - faulting module msmapi32.dll

Windows XP SP2 system connected to SBS2003 domain (Exchange Server 2003
SP1 applied), Office 2002 SP3 and all critical updates applied.
Specific user on this machine cannot open emails with attachments of any
kind, nor recurring calendar appointments, nor Help -> About Microsoft
Outlook without causing a serious error requiring restart. In every
instance of this application error, the following is logged in
Application events:

Faulting application outlook.exe, version 10.0.6626.0, faulting module
msmapi32.dll, version 10.0.6515.0, fault address 0x000069d8.

Using a different user on the same machine (different mailbox, of
course), Outlook works flawlessly for the same tasks. Have removed old
profiles, removed frmcache.dat for affected user, disabled realtime
virus protection (Norton AV Corp 7.60), removed/reinstalled Office XP as
well as Outlook component, all to no avail.

This particular user has installed several programs in the past that
added add-ins to Outlook - all those programs have been uninstalled as


well. The only third-party program conceivably at issue is PGP Desktop
Version 9.0.1.2185 which was recently upgraded, but has not been
reported on any of the restarts as a trouble add-in.

Does anyone have a suggestion on getting this resolved?

Regards,
Ken

Close Outlook - rename all mapi files you find. Then run fixmapi.exe - it
sounds like one of the add-ins put its own version of mapi in.

In the future, consider locking down users - after all, this is not their
home machine, but a tool provided by the employer. Tell the user to use
what is provided and stop trying to turn it into a home machine - it is not.

Hi Milly,

Thanks for the reply. After searching for all instances of *mapi* on
the machine and thinking about how things came to be broken, we decided
to uninstall PGP Desktop. This resulted in an immediate improvement
(i.e. no more restarts trying to open Help -> About..., messages with
attachments, etc.).

Would love to lock down the user, but in this particular situation
company management has decided to use the additional software despite
the potential for conflicts.

Regards,
Ken

Default A bit of help i can offer

I was having a similar problem. I tried the solution above which lead me to my final solution.... After renaming the msmapi32.dll file to msmapi32x.dll, I opened Outlook 2003. Outlook automatically replaced the msmapi32.dll file through setup. Outlook provided a message that the Outlook.ost file for the user was damaged. Next I ran the inbox repair tool. scanpst.exe repairing the outlook.ost file. Info on running the repair tool is in QB Article 287497. Hope this helps....
