Restore Microsoft Outlook, add-in problem

A

AMS

I downloaded some MediaMax software and now my Outlook has problems.

From what I gather, the problem has something to do with add-ins for Outlook.

I have removed the MediaMax software but Outlook still won't operate properly.

My thought was to restore Outlook to its original settings...how do I do that?

Is there another solution?

Help please!

Thanks for the reply.

I am using Outlook 2003.

When I attempt to open Outlook, I get messages saying that there were
serious problems with the plug in to Plaxo. Also a message saying that my
Business Contact Manager has experienced an error and the Outlook needs to
close.

I am unable to progress after sending /not sending error reports.

I have attempted to delete "extend.dat, outcmd.dat, frmcache.dat" files and
reboot but still to no avail.

Help!!

What exactly is being logged to the Event Viewer regarding this?
Have you tried doing a repair on Office and BCM already?

"Cannot read reminders. Unable to start reminders" is the message.

Still seeking answers and have found a few posts similar to -
I too have this problem...have already tried Outlook.exe /resetfolders and
/cleanreminders with NO effect. This problem seems to be widespread. Is there
no FIX out there? The only advice seems to be the Outlook.exe /resetfolders
/cleanreminders thing. What is the next thing to try?

HELP......not critical but OH SO ANNOYING!

"BCM is successful but Office in unsuccessful"
You have to tell us a lot more. We cannot see the error codes you are
getting and "unsuccessful" is a much to vague term to work with to offer a
possible solution.
