Microsoft Connector Error upon opening Outlook

[kathy]

After loading MS Office 2007, I installed and then uninstalled MS Live
Essentials. After uninstalling, I began getting an error upon opening
Outlook. I say OK and proceed.

"The Add-in 'Outlook Connector Extensions' (mscon32.dll) cannot be
loaded and has been disabled by Outlook. Please contact the add-in
manufacturer for an update. If no update is available, please
uninstall the add-in."

I have seen a number of others with this same problem on the web, but
never an answer of how to fix it. I am running XP. This drives me
crazy and happens every time I open Outlook. Originally, I think
Outlook wanted me to do several online sign ins when I opened outlook,
so I uninstalled MS Live Essentials. In trying to get rid of this
error, I completely uninstalled Outlook and reinstalled. Made no
difference. Error still there. Can't find any info on how to get rid
of this error notification.

Either reinstall the Outlook Connector or remove the Live Hotmail account
from your mail profile.
