Outlook 2003 Error

Originally published October 31st 2005

Affected applications

Microsoft Office 2003 with Outlook 2003 and Word 2003 (clean install or upgrade)

Error message

Microsoft Word is set to be your e-mail editor.  However, Word is unavailable, not installed, or is not the same version as Outlook.  The Outlook e-mail editor will be used instead.  An OLE registration error has occurred.  The program is not correctly installed.  Run setup again for the program.

Symptoms

This error message may only appear when you attempt to forward an email from within Outlook.  Reinstallation does not help (via Add/Remote Programs), neither does "Detect and repair" options in Outlook and/or Word.

Solution

regsvr32 %WINDIR%\system32\ole32.dll

I did this and the pop-up window said it ran sucessfully but I'm still having the problem even though I've shut down Outlook and restarted my computer.

Can you please help? Thanks! Katie
