Also: When doing a search on my pc for "mapi32.dll" files this is what I
found. Do these files point to the problem?

mapi32.dll                    C:\WINDOWS\system32

MAPI32.DLL              C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\1033

Newbie running: XP SP2, IE7, Office 2000

Recently I used "Windows Install CleanUp."
to removed files from an aborted attempt to install: Office 2003. Office
2003 was not installed, and is NOT in my "add/remove program".

Now when I use IE 7 to access my email I receive this error message:
"Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. MAPI32.DLL is corrupt or the wrong
version. This could have been caused by installing other messaging software.
Please reinstall"

As previously noted, Office 2003 never installed.

I used "Windows Install CleanUp" to stop IE7 from launching Office 2003
setup window, when trying to access mail.

Now I get the mapi32.dll error message.

Please note: Outlook 2000, works fine when launched on it own.  I only get
the error message
when accessing Outlook 2000 with my web browser

How can I make my browser launch Outlook 2000 again?
