[cwallace61]

I was using outlook, came across window live mail and thought I would try it.
ever since then I cannot even open outlook getting 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 outlook." I cannot reinstall outlook as i do not have the disc --
the program was already on my PC when I bought it. I need to get my outlook
and outlook emails back.

Your going to need the Office / outlook cd in order to repair your
installation, I suspect.

So what do I do if I dont have the disc for outlook? Outlook was working just
fine till I went to Windows Live Mail. I too use Vista. My PC came from
gateway built with all info into it and worked fine for 5 months then poof!!
So is it a Vista issue then?

No, its an Outlook issue and you will need the install CD/source to correct
it. If Outlook came installed on your computer when you got it from
Gateway, they are responsible for supplying this. Often, the install CD
will be transferred to a folder on your hard drive; if it is, running
Office/Outlook setup from Add/Remove programs should find it. If not,
Gateway should be able to supply you with the CD.
