COM AddIn problem

[Leo]

I am running Outlook 2003 SP2. I had 2 COM addins, PocketKnife Peek and PDF
Converter 4.0, installed and everything was working fine. Yesterday I
installed WinFax Pro 10.0 and Outlook started hanging. I had to kill it
from the task manager. Upon restarting it would pop up a dialog box
complaining about one of the addins and ask me if I wanted to disable it. I
clicked Yes. After several restarts I had all the addins disabled and
Outlook would now run. Then I decided the most likely culprit for the
problems was WinFax so I removed it with Add Remove programs. Rebooted.

Now when I go into Outlook->Tools->Options->Other->Advanced Options->COM
Add-Ins, I can check the checkbox next to PocketKnife Peek and PDF Converter
but after clicking OK all the way out exiting Outlook, restarting Outlook
these addins don't work and are no longer checked. It seems that I can't
enable these addins from the COM addin menu. Is there a registry key or
something else that I need to edit to re-enable my addins?
