MSDART problems

[JHA]

Running Office 2000 on Windows XP. Every time I highlight
Outlook Today, I get a popup error message that says:

Personal Folders - Microsoft Outlook: OUTLOOK.EXE - Entry
Point Not Found
The procedure entry point GetTextExtentPointIX could not
be located in the dynamic link library MSDART.DLL

It pops up about 5 to 10 times in succession, each time I
hilight Outlook Today. As far as I can see there is no
loss in functionality -- just these annoying error
messages.

Does anyone know how to get rid of this error message?

Thank you!

John

A simple Google search of this group with "MSDART.DLL" as the search string
would have turned upi your answer for you. Install the latest MDAC.

I did that. I downloaded and installed MDAC_TYP (the latest MDAC is 2.8)
and it still didn't solve the problem. No change. Rebooted. Still no
change.

To be sure, I deleted MSDART.DLL from the SYSTEM folder (intending to
install MDAC 2.8 again), but the DLL suddenly reappeared! Is this normal
behavior, or do I have a virus?

Highly unlikely you have a virus, but other than that, I have no idea what's
causing your problem. I wish I had another idea. Sorry.

When I run the Component Checker and select automatic determination, it
tells me that I have MDAC 2.7 SP1 on Windows XP SP1 (not correct - I am
running SP2).

When I run MDAC28_TYP.EXE, it tells me "MDAC 2.8 RTM is incompatible
with this version of Windows. All of its features are currently part of
Windows."

There are no MDAC entries shown in Add/Remove Programs.

Now what?

(My message is the GetIUMS one, not the one shown above, but the
problems seems very similar.)
