iCardAddln Micorsoft Outlook 2003

[Yaboo1964]

When starting Outlook 2003, every time I get an automation error. Top bar in
blue reads "iCardAddln" Gray box reads "Automation Error" 2nd line reads
Specific module could not be found". I have tried reloading the program,
repairing the program and a search of the web has not shown me anything about
this error.

Thanks

Do you have a ZyXEL modem or software?

 

[Yaboo1964]

I did a file search in explorer, and some files did come up with MDMzyXel

 

[Yaboo1964]

Actually there was one file found, MDMZYXEL in c:\I386

go to tools, options, other, advanced, addins and disable it. also delete
extend.dat.

 

[Yaboo1964]

Already had that disabled. Searched C: Drive, no extend.dat found.

you have to search to include hidden files/folders

 

[Yaboo1964]

Tried that too, still no extend.dat.

Tried that too, still no extend.dat.

In Windows Explorer, enter "%AppData%\Microsoft\Outlook" (without the
quotes) in the Address field. Click Go. You should see it there. Outlook
2003 does not operate without creating extend.dat.

 

[Yaboo1964]

Nope, 8 files, none are extend.dat.

In Windows Explorer, enter "%AppData%\Microsoft\Outlook" (without the
quotes) in the Address field. Click Go. You should see it there. Outlook
2003 does not operate without creating extend.dat.

The default location is \Documents & Settings\'username'\Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

 

[Yaboo1964]

DL, well I finally found it and deleted it. However I am still getting the
automation error when I start up outlook.

 

[Brian Tillman]

I'm running Outlook 2003 on a Windows/2000 machine and I don't have
an extend.dat file in that directory either.

However, I do see one here:

Documents and Settings\me\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook

where 'me' is my user name.

Perhaps that is the location you meant?

Yup. I mistyped. I should have typed
%UserProfile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook. Sorry for
the mistake.

 

[Yaboo1964]

OK, the file is gone, but not the problem. Still get the automation error
when I open outlook. Help!
