Cannot open Outlook 2007 - OLMAPI32.dll error

[Eric]

Hello,

When I try to open Outlook 2007, I get an error box which simply says
"OLMAPI32.dll". This error started suddenly, as Outlook was working regularly
before.

I'm using Office 2007 B2TR.

Can anyone offer any advice?
Thanks so much!

Did you try installing Outlook 2003?
Run Office Diagnostics and see if the issue goes away. If it doesn't,
repair the installation next.

I unintsalled and performed a disc clean up, deleted all files in temp
folders then reinstalled Office 2007. The issue was still there so I located
and renamed OLMAPI32.dll to old and performed a detect and repair. This
still gave an error stating an out of memory condition etc. I then installed
the B2TR, rebooted and everything now works fine.

For future notice "detect and repair" is from Office 2003. Running it
with 2007 installed, will mess up 2007. The repair for Office 2007 is in
Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Change Office 2007, Repair.

I had the same problem. I finally got OUTLOOK 2007 B working again by
following the instructions found in this thread:
