Adam Tanguma wrote: fxsext32.dll error in Outlook 28-Apr-07 I found how to get rid of this message in Outlook 2007, I am not sure if the steps will be the same in Outlook 2003. Go to: Tools/Trust Center/Add-ins button At the bottom there is a "Manage Drop-Down" "COM Add-ins" may be selected by default. Change this drop-down to "Exchange Client Extensions" and click "Go" You will see an Add-In Manager dialog box with an option for "FaxExtension" I uncheced this box and clicked "ok". Closed Outlook and relaunched. Message has not returned. Hope this helps.

As I mentioned the screen freezes causing a hard reboot and at times Outlook times out and will not send messages. I am interested if it resolves those issues and does not leave me with a 25 pound paper weight on my desk.

As a result 'Windows.old' just did not contain much data.
