Msimn error in DIRECTDB.DLL

[Lammy]

Hello from newbie home user. Recently outlook has been
unable to connect to my server(cable)so I cannot recieve
or send. I get the message "Msimn has caused an error in
DIRECTDB.DLL outlook will now close if you continue to
experience problems try restarting your computer".
Needless to say the problem continues. I have used system
restore to a time when things were fine but the same error
message comes up. msimn.exe is the file that runs outlook
and directdb.dll is an application extension file. I am at
a loss about what to do. My cable works fine for the
internet so I dont think it is a problem with the server.
Any ideas? Lammy

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups). The links under the newsgroup
references are for use with MS's web newsreader (not exactly the best way to
post but it works for some people)
