Outlook 2003 error message

[Alan]

I just loaded Office Outlook 2003. Operating system XP. When I open it an
error message appears.
C:\PROGRA~1\HOTBAR\bin\451~1.0\SBOLExt.dll COULD NOT BE INSTALLED OR LOADED
I tried detect and repair and that did not help.

PLEASE, I need help

You are infected with Hotbar. Use Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D to eradicate the spyware. Or maybe you did eradicate it but it is still configured as a plug-in to Outlook. In OL2002 (might be the same in OL2003), go to Tools -> Options -> Other -> Advanced and check if the Hotbar is still listed as a plug-in or add-in. If so, remove it.

In OL2003, Tools | Options, Other tab, Advanced Options button, Add-In
Manager button, and you can de-select it from there if that is the
case...

HTH.
