When you try to start Microsoft Office Outlook 2003, the program does not start. You'll receive the following error message:

"Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook.MAPI32.DLL is corrupt or the wrong version. This could have been caused by installing other messaging software. Please reinstall Outlook."

I faced this problem at Maltaco.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

1.Close Outlook 2003

2.Locate and then open the following folder on your computer:

C:\\\\Program Files\\\\Common Files\\\\System\\\\Msmapi\\\\1033

3.Right-click the MSMapi32.dll file, and then click Rename.

4.Type Msmapi32.old, and then press ENTER to rename the file.

5.Start Outlook 2003.
