Check registry entry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\<Your
addinin.Connect> key
Value in LoadBehavior should be 3 - autoloadIf this is 2 Outlook cannot
load your addin . Try to debug it.

Thank you David. I have also Norton Antispam tool bar. In some cases it's
loadbehaviour is changed to 2. But I cant simulate this. Can you tell the
situation?

Without Norton AntiSpam, It works fine. With Norton AntiSpam, loadbehaviour
is changed to 2. why???

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Dur.

Norton will often crash Outlook or cause problems and then your addin will
be disabled. Often it can be found under Help, About Outlook, Disabled Items
in that case. Get rid of the Norton integration with Outlook.

"Get rid of the Norton integration with Outlook." - How can we achive this?

Is it possible programmatically?

Thanks in advance.

No, you have to disable it through Norton's setup options. If and when it
re-enables that option (it does sometimes on its own) you would have to
uninstall and then reinstall without that option.
