Text of error message: The extension configuration file "C:\Program

If you start outlook and select tools options other tab advanced
options button add in manager, is there an option listed of schedule+ and the box is checked next to it? If yes, uncheck the box and try restarting outlook to see if the error stops.

Neo,
I appreciate that you took the time to try and provide me with a solution to my problem. However, I think you must have misunderstood the nature of my issue, OUTLOOK WILL NO LONGER START!!!! As I said, I am grateful for your intent, but your suggestion has no chance of correcting my problem because Outlook won't start. Thanks anyway, Sp1chael "neo [mvp outlook]" wrote: If you start outlook and select tools options other tab advanced options button add in manager, is there an option listed of schedule+ and the box is checked next to it?
