Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. MAPI32.DLL is corrupt or the wrong version.

-

This happened after I uninstalled Office 2007 & installed Office 2003. Restarted my computer and clicked on the outlook icon, and an error message said:

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

I tried to repair/reinstall it few times and it said the same thing. What’s wrong here?

This is a common error which seems to pop-up after you uninstall Office 2007 and install Office 2003 again. This is often a procedure that you have to do because your new PC shipped with a trial version of Office 2007 while you are still perfectly happy with Office 2003 or simply decide not to upgrade just yet. It’s your pick of course :-)

SOLUTION:-

1. Navigate to:
   C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\
   (Usually only 1 number is listed there. 1033 represents English)
2. Here you’ll find the file "MSMAPI32.DLL"
   Alternatively you could do a search on this file name to locate the folder.
3. Rename this file to MSMAPI32.OLD
   Note that you do not rename MAPI32.DLL itself but MSMAPI32.DLL
4. Start Outlook 2003. It should rebuild MSMAPI32.DLL automatically.

If it doesn’t repair itself, you should try running a repair on Office 2003 by running setup again from the installation CD.

Save Ink, Save Paper & Save Time with FINEPRINT

-

Sometimes we only want to print some draft documents for viewing purpose, of course we can print them on draft papers.

Or, some expensive copier/printer drivers support printing of multiple pages on a single sheet:


2 pages on 1 A4/Letter paper


4 pages on 1 A4/Letter paper

We can also using FINEPRINT to achieve this. It's a "fake" (virtual) printer driver that basically sits between us and our real printer. We print everything to FINEPRINT (by choosing FINEPRINT as printer), and then we can change 1:1 print jobs to 2, 4 or 8 up layout. Then, we choose "actual" printer to print out the document.



This ROCKS. we can take 4 page-long meeting agendas and print them on one page to any printer. And FINEPRINT works with all printers.



Some of the FINEPRINT functions:

- Print multiple pages on a single sheet
- No more printing blank pages (by deleting any unwanted pages)
- Remove unwanted text and images
- Delete unwanted pages
- Print electronic letterhead
- Archive print jobs

Other features:
- Mark documents with watermarks - eg: "draft" or "confidential"
- Create custom electronic letterhead and forms
- Page numbering over multiple documents including Bates stamping
- Output pages to clipboard
- Save pages in JPEG, TIFF and text formats
- Highlight, delete and redact text
- Remove all or specific graphics
