Oh Dear. Brain Dead and stupid!

[Alan]

Hi Guy's.

I was very tired and not thinking too well. I managed to delete the Bluesoleil from my task bar in Outlook 2000, don't ask me why but I did!

I used to have on the task bar a synchronise, pull and other tabs which I never used and deselected them from the tools options menu. Stupidly I opened the commands and deleted the bluesoleil tool bar.

Now of course Outlook launches until the end of loading the task bars and then reports that it found a problem and needs to close.

Is there a way to put it right without having to reinstall it? is this part of Outlook or Windows?

Any help would be very appreciated. .

When you post using a brain-dead posting host like outlookforums.com, please
press Enter periodically to provide a line wrap. Your paragraphs each show as
one big long line, making them difficult to read. You'd be better off using a
real newsreader.

With Outlook closed, try deleting the file outcmd.dat in
%AppData%\Microsoft\Outlook and then restarting Outlook. If that doesn't
work, try deleting (for XP) %UserProfile%\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook\extend.dat or (for Vista or 7)
%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Outlook\extend.dat.

Thank you for your reply and apologies for the text problem
all forums seem to be different in one way or another.

Okay, I tried deleting both as suggested without success the error
still persists, will a reinstall of Outlook put it back or can you
suggest anything else?

I am using Windows XP Home SP3..

I'd reinstall the BlueSoleil software you uninstalled. I suspect that it
added a toolbar to Outlook.
