New PC with Vista, using Office XP 2003

I have had the same problem. I have removed office 2007, changed my default
email client to outlook (instead of windows messenger) and I still get the
MAP132.dll error message. HELP!!!

I have a
ninety-day trial version of Office 2007 that came on the PC; is it
okay to uninstall that or should I leave it alone? Will it help this
problem to uninstall it?

This could very well be the problem. It's problematic installing a version
of Outlook, especially an earlier version, over the top of a trial version.

Rename MAPI32.DLL to something else, like MAPI32.OLD and then start Outlook.
It should restore the missing DLL.

I just purchased a new PC with Vista and was assured at the time of purchase
that my version of Office XP 2003 is compatible. No apparent problem loading
it or the updates, but when I try to open Outlook, I get an error message
that says it needs to be re-loaded. That doesn't work either. I have to keep
this Office program as I do a lot of work from home, and my employer is
unlikely to move to the new products for a year or more. Any tips on making
this work. (I'm a nurse, not a techy)

I purchased a new PC with Vista also - running IE7 - When I tried to install
Office XP - Outlook would not run - error message said it required IE5 -
what's up with that?

Did you maybe have a trial version of Office installed that you failed to
uninstall?

PS you stated OfficeXp 2003, there is either OfficeXp or Office 2003 not a
combination.

If its OfficeXp this is not fully compatible with Vista, usually Outlook
does not remember passwords, though I believe a workaround has been posted

I did not have any version of Office installed. Works came on the Dell
computer. Office XP is what I tried to install. It seemed to install okay -
but Outlook gave the problem - it gave message that it required IE5 and of
course IE7 is installed with Vista.

problems with Outlook
