Unable to open Outlook2003. Error: MAPI unable loading msncon.dll

[Sterre]

I am trying to set up Outlook 2003 on home computer but keep getting the
following message when trying to open application.
MAPI was unable to load the information service msncon.dll.
Since I am not open to open, I cannot get to the help feature.
Please advise

Have you downloaded the latest MSN Connector from their site? Or, if not
using it, have you uninstalled it? Try opening Outlook in Safe mode
(start->run->outlook.exe /safe) and go into the Advanced options and uncheck
it from add-in manager or COM add-ins.
