no response to last post, question about a dll file for outlook

[Sue Warner]

I just recently started using outlook 2000. I get the start up error
that asks if you want outlook to resolve a conflict. I read the relevant
knowledge base article 256946 which says it's a conflict related to
mapi32.dll. I am hesitant to try any of the solutions until I know what
other programs on my computer might be negatively affected by changing
this dll file. They mention eudora pro and word perfect in other
articles about this problem (222323 and 253420), but no other software
(I don't use either of these). I use Netscape 4.78 for mail and Netscape
7 browser sometimes as well as IE browser. I don't want other software
to be affected by the solution which uses the fixmapi utility to change
the dll file. I don't know much about dll files... So far I just click
no to the message, and I don't appear to have any problems using outlook
or anything else. The message comes up each time at start up of the
program though. Anyone know of any problems with other software not
listed in these articles? Is it safe to have outlook change this dll?
Thanks for your help. -Sue

yes, it is safe to let outlook change the dll for you.
