Fixmapi fixes problems when, for whatever reason, another version of
mapi32.dll gets installed and replaces the version outlook installed.
Fixmapi makes sure outlook is using the correct version.
you aren't doing anything wrong - but something is clearly wrong. I don't
know if it's sql or something else - how much memory is in the computer?
Too
much can sometimes cause problems...
bring up a cmd window and enter
Tasklist /SVC
this will bring up a list of all running services and include a breakdown
of
what is using svchost. It doesn't break down mem usage by service, but
you'll be able to see what is calling it and hopefully that will gives
some
clues as to where the problem is.

don't know if this might be the cause-

Dear Diane,
Just spotted your question--it's version 4.5. The program "fixmapi"
solved
both problems, though it's still not clear what that was all about.
One more question--is it expected that sqlserver will hog all the
memory
and
cpu, taking up to 500 mb at times? Whatever svchost is, terminating it
doesn't seem to affect any programs, it speeds things up a LOT, and
then
there's enough memory to run the programs, including Outlook 2007.
But on occasion, sqlserver has to be terminated. Am I doing something
wrong?
ps--the more memory I add, the worse this seems to get.
:
what version of active sync?
Diane,
A related problem, I believe, is that the message "the ordinal 17
could
not
be located in the dynamic link library MAPI32.dll" is now popping up
when
trying to search.
Also related, I believe, is the message "the ordinal 23 could not be
located
in the dynamic link library MAPI32.dll" when the IPAQ is plugged in.
Neither of these happened prior to installing Outlook 2007, but if
this
is
not the correct forum to raise these issues, it would be greatly
appreciated
if you would point me in the right direction.

Thanks again for that prompt reply.
It's not clear what the original problem was, but it just started
working
on
its own, before I had the chance to disable Avast and fax. It
doesn't
appear
to have started working because of anything I did--so perhaps it
will
remain
a deep hidden secret );
:
go into the trust center (tools menu) and check the addins that
or
install -
disable avast and fax.

Thanks for that prompt reply.
I'm using Outlook 2007 with Windows xp and IE 6.0. The avast 4
error
occurs
when Outlook starts, and the fax error occurs when trying to
open
a
mail
folder [sent items, junk mail, etc.].
There were two "extend.dat" files deleted, and the same problem
occurs--all
else seems to work, but can't read messages and get the same
error
message
where the text of the message should be.
:
what version of outlook? when do you get the errors with the
two
dll's?
Have you deleted extend.dat to see if that helps?

message
I can download messages, but can't read any of them, not even
when
a new
message is created, and the following error message won't go
away,
even
though it says all the credentials have been verified:
"this message with restricted permission cannot be viewed in
the
reading pane until you verify your credentials. Open the
item
to
read its contents and verify your credentials".
Other errors that seem to be associated are related to a
file
called "ashoutxt.dll" in Avast 4, and an add-in fax server
extension called "fxsext32.dll".
Frustrating. Nothing seems to fix it. I've upgraded
everything,
and
still
nothing solved that problem.
Thanks in advance for your possible help.
