Outlook 2003 "interface not registered"

hewso · 01-16-2006, 04:43 AM

When I go to send an email using Outlook 2003 I get the message "interface not registered" This only started happening about a week ago, previous to that outlook worked fine.

I have tried using the reinstall/repair tool to no avail, and I was wondering if there was anything else I could try before I do the complete uninstall - reinstall bit?

cheers

Hi

Have you started using Word as your e-mail editor?

hewso · 01-16-2006, 02:40 PM

I think I have always used word as my email editor, I havn't changed any settings so I can't see how it would have changed from whatever the default is when you install the program

Hi

Try re-registering the Ole32.dll file - could be a corrupt registry entry.

Go to Start > Run

Then copy and paste in this line

Regsvr32.exe %Windir%\System32\Ole32.dll

Then hit OK.

Let me know if that helps any.

I tried using registry mechanic but it didn't help, But I will try this when I get home and see what happens.

Looks like that fixed the problem. Cheers for that!

I have the same problem on a Windows 2003 machine using Outlook 2003.

I tried the fix shown above but it does not help, I get the following reply :

DllRegisterServer in c:WINDOWS\System32\Ole32.dll failed Reurn code was
0x8007005

Any help would be appreciated.

See if this blog posting gives you a way out.

Yep, does sound like a reg permissions issue. Make sure you are using an Admin account to register the dll. You might find it easier to try Dial-a-Fix.

Used the fix posted by Balaji then re-registered Ole32.dll as suggested by Glaswegian and the p[roblem is solved.

Tried REGCURE from Dial-a-Fix but have been waiting 8 hours for a licence key.

Many thanks for thehelp in solving my problem.
