My Outlook sometimes (about 2 or 3 times a week) generates the folling error: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Runtime Error! Program: ...\OUTLOOK.EXE abnormal program termination I'm using Outlook 2002 in a Windows ME. I already scanned for virus and reinstalled outlook, but the problem keeps hapenning.

recently i solved a problem that is outlook unknown error <a href="http://www.articlewritingclicks.com/Data_Recovery/0x80040600_Error_Code_in_Outlook__Here_is_How_to_Fix_it.html">unknown error 0x80040600</a> .You need to restore that file (…and that’s a huge file) by using a PST recovery tool.You can try using Microsoft’s Scanpst.exe (Inbox Repair Tool) – this is an approximately 37K tool that supposed to repair your Outlook.pst. I’m saying ‘supposed to’, since it’s very limited in what it can do which eventually results with quite low success rates, after all, what can you expect from a 37K file.... Go ahead, try it, and see for yourself what I’m talking about...I’ll wait… Anyway, what I’m about to show you is truly from another league, and I can say with full confidence – this is going to completely recover your entire PST file! No matter what size it is and how badly it is damaged. (I know that professional Data Recovery labs are using this). I’ve used it myself and it easily recovered my 5 years old 2.3GB PST file. Good luck and hope that helped.

Hi guys, as expected, I have the same error occurring whenever I try to send a new message. So basically I can receive emails but I cannot possibly send them out. I operate on XP with Karspersky, my antispam filter is turned off and I also tried a few of your tips such as the add in manager and other stuff, but unfortunately I can't seem to get rid of the problem, whatever it may be. I could sure use some help because my work is primarily connected to Outlook and it drives me crazy. Many thanks!

CURE-ALL for this problem.I contacted Roadrunner Help.... all you have to do, no matter what antivirus software youare using, is disable "Check all ingcoming mail" and "check all outgoing mail", in whatever way your antivirus' email options has it worded. This is the case EVEN if you already have Anti-Spam disabled, which I did. Go back in, even if Anti-Spam is disabled, and set the program to NOT scan incoming or outgoing emails. I tried a million things to fix this, using the registry changes, etc., and nothing else worked. BTW, I am using Windows XP Home (Outlook Express), Works, and CA Antivirus software.

I found the "Visual C++ runtime error" when trying to schedule a meeting or accept one in outlook. It closed Outlook. I removed Add Aware and rebooted my pc. It seems to work when I requested a meeting, but once I tried to accept a request, it happened again. This problem started when I installed Adobe In Design CS3 -can't remove it. I need it. Do not know what else to do. There is no file like MSOUPLUG.DLL in my pc.

Debido a un error de Microsoft Outlook, en el que al realizar alguna operacion aparece el mensaje:Error: "Runtime Error Visual C++: C:\..\Outlook.exe, Abnormal program termination" Hay que desintalar el Outlook 2000, y luego ejecutar el programa "eraser2k.exe" (en la página de microft está) que se encarga de desintalar todos los componentes del office y entradas de registro. Reinstalando el Office no se soluciona este problema, ni tampoco instalando el SP3.

Thanks, folks. I found the answer I needed here and not at Symantec.Recently installed NIS 2006, it was completely updated and I started getting this error when opening Outlook 2002 running on XP. I disabled the Anti-Spam and it's working just fine now. Norton's solution: <a href="http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/nip.nsf/429934053165308488256d8e0076af48/904ce4986a2db52688256e55006a4558?OpenDocument&prod=Norton%20Interne">at this page</a> was obviously not sufficient since I was already updated.

I am somewhat surprised but I do believe that they have fixed this problem. I had disabled the Anti-Spam feature by killing the dll as recommended in this thread many months ago. I have just noticed that the spam feature seems to be working again as a result of a recent live update. On inspection, the killed dll is still there but there is now a replacement dll. No runtime errors yet ! Better late than never.

I am running Office 2000 with XP Home. I got the error message every time I tried to open and read an Outlook message, although I could read them in preview pane, or send/reply/forward a message. I searched for MSOUPLUG.DLL and did not find it on my hard drive. The problem began after uninstalling Adobe Acrobat Reader - I didn't think I needed it with Adobe 6.0 Professional installed. I then also uninstalled Adobe 6.0 Pro and presto! It now works. Thanks to the guys who tipped me off to Adobe.

Renaming MSOUPlug.dll to MSOUPlug.dll.old works fine and does allow OUTLOOK to work again. The orginal reason i looked for a fix was due to NIS 2004 having a seroius error and it needed to be reinstalled. I tried to uninstall 2004 and then reinstall NIS 2004 but BOTH fail. I bought a copy of 2005 but that will not load unless 2004 is removed first. Now I have email working again I will contact Norton help desk about my main problem which i suspect was due to a virus as my host table is being reset every time i reboot and it stops me accessing any symantec web site. Thanks for rename help.

Norton did NOT fix this problem with Norton Internet Security 2005. I just installed it and got the same error message and shutting down of Outlook described by others, "Outlook abnormal program termination."I did a Search for MSOUPLUG.DLL as Hami had suggested and then as Pete recommended, I renamed the "MSOUPLUG.DLL" to "MSOUPLUG.DLL.OLD". Now Outlook works again but it did make it not possible to find the Spamblocker. Thanks to Hami and Pete. You should be on teh payroll for Norton because those bozos aren't taking care of this common problem.

Team After installing Norton AntiSpam or Norton Internet Security 200?? a "Runtime Error" occurs when the starting Outlook/Outlook Express.When Norton AntiSpam 2004/Norton Internet Security 2004 is installed in the computer which has multiple profiles the following error occurs when the starting Outlook/Outlook Express, Outlook/Outlook Express ends. "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Runtime Error! Program:C: \progra - When 1\MICROS^2\OFFICE11\OUTOLOOK.EXE As Pete recommended, I renamed the "MSOUPLUG.DLL" to "MSOUPLUG.DLL.OLD". I have fast-user-switched several times with no problems. Not a big deal; I don't have any email addresses on Outlook that even get spam. BEAWARE that MSOUPLUG.DLL can be installed locations other than the "<root>\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\Antispam" DIRECTORY. You should use START>SEARCH>” MSOUPLUG”. I found it buried deep in my DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS folder. Respectfully Submitted Hami

Hey Pat,If you are so tired of reading all the replies about people having problem with NIS and Outlook, then stop whinging and go elsewhere. Over 90% of the people of this thread experienced the Runtime Error when they installed NIS. I'm not saying Outlook is squeaky clean but that doesn't mean Norton is faultless either. If Outlook is working fine before, and after you install a new product (ie NIS) then it starts crashing. What would you say? That's Outlook's problem? Adobe and Plaxo can cause the same problem does not mean Norton is not doing something wrong either. If you can find a solution for your problem, great. But please spare a little thought for all the NIS users that still have to bare this problem.

I run Outlook 2003 in both a corporate and home environment. At home I have NIS 2004 and at work a mix of McAfee 7.1 and 8.0i Enterprise Antivirus equipped machines. All three products install an antivirus plugin into Outlook. All three products cause the same error.This makes me think that the issues everyone is seeing aren't the fault of Symantec at all and are indeed problems caused by how Outlook 2003 handles COM plugins. Symantec's claims that the fault lies with Microsoft appear to be correct.

I like NortonHosedMyOutlook's solution lets all post negative reviews on amazon.com. There are 66 negative reviews so far and only two or three positive reviews. The power of the little people will be felt by Symantec.http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000C8XYM/103-1777177-0476643 I had to get the Better Business Bureau Online involved with Symantec when I first bought my product due to false advertising on their web site. I ended up getting it for free but I guess I got what I paid for. Pete's solution works but it gets rid of the toolbar which is needed for this product to work. I wish you all luck in finding a solution to this problem.

THE PROBLEMMy problem occurs when using a fresh install of XP Home_SP2, Office 2003_SP1, and Norton Internet Security 2005- all fully updated. I have no other add-ins or 3rd party programs installed such as Adobe Acrobat. When I attempt to access Outlook, it shuts down with the following C++ runtime error: "Microsoft Visual C++ Debug Library Debug Error C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\OUTLOOK.EXE Abnormal Program Termination" I select ABORT at the prompt. After aborting, when I restart Outlook 2003, I get the following message: “Microsoft Office Outlook Outlook experienced a serious error the last time the add-in ‘norton antispam outlook plugin’ was opened. Would you like to disable this add-in? To reactivate this add-in, click About Microsoft Office Outlook on the Help menu, and then click Disabled Items” I select NO at he prompt. This problem happens when I first try to run Outlook after I log in to WinXP. I have uninstalled and reinstalled both Office and Norton Internet Security. There are no errors reported during either installation. I ran all of the update utilities- Windows, Office, Symantec- until I received the ‘no updates available’ message. The same problem occurs on every account that I have setup in Windows. Nothing that I have tried so far seems to make a difference. THE REPLIES 1) This issue occurs when Norton AntiSpam is set to "Disabled" in Outlook 2003. For more information, please refer the link provided below: Title: 'Error: "Outlook experienced a serious error . . ." after installing Norton AntiSpam' Web URL: http://service1.symantec.com/Support/nip.nsf/docid/2003111813570836 Note: This document is also applicable to Norton Internet Security (NIS) 2005. 2) In order to resolve the issue, please refer the link provided below: Title: 'Error: "Runtime Error!...C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\<File name>...R6025 - Pure virtual function call"' Web URL: http://service1.symantec.com/support/nav.nsf/docid/2002092316375206 Note: When you re-install Norton AntiVirus (NAV), please provide the same registration information. If you do not use the same registration information (name and address), a new account will be created on the subscription server. If a new account is created, then you will not be able to get the virus definitions. Hence, I suggest that you give the same registration details at the time of registration. REPSONSES 1) AntiSpam is not listed as a disabled item, so I can't re-enable it. 2) NAV has nothing to do with the problem, and it can't be selectively uninstalled anyway. Still waiting...

I have Windows XP Pro SP2 with MS Office 2000 and Norton Internet Security 2004. When my computer boots up, it pops up outlook right away and works fine. I don't have fast user switching as I only have one user profile. I upgraded MS Office 2000 using Office Update online and it added security fixes and whatever, and so now it get that error. I think it could be that the update with Microsoft changed something that now conflicts with Norton and Norton doesn't update their versions of Office. I am getting real used to things not working, XP lags on startup for a good couple minutes now.... and one of my cd-burners isn't recognized anymore. I'll figure it out eventually.

Just found this site. I recently purchased a new computer that included NAV 2004. I loaded Earthlink TotalAccess (an internet toolbar that has an e-mail button, spamblocker, among other things). When I try pushing a certain button on the toolbar, this same visual c++ runtime/abnormal program termination you all are describing happens. Oddly enough, I had installed this same Earthlink program on my old computer that had NAV 2002 on it, without any problems. I just wanted to add this message to contribute to the obvious Norton pattern...it seems most people with this problem have the NAV 2004 on their computer. I don't know if Pete's solution of changing the antispam folder name will help me, since my problem is not with Outlook. Luckily, the toolbar button that creates the runtime error problem is not one I really use, so I can avoid it. It's just unbelievable to me that Symantec has not come up with a solution to this problem yet. So there's my two cents. Will inform Symantec, and wait for them to figure this out, I suppose. It's nice to know I'm not the only one. Thanks all.

I had the same problem and thought "what the heck it Plaxo?" But I checked in Outlook and found it as a Com add-in section; although I could not uncheck it without it giving me the same error then suddenly closing Outlook, I was however able to remove it and Outlook functioned as normal. So yes, it appears to be solely related to Plaxo. By the way, plaxo is a free program that automatically updates your address book. With that said, this particular user happens to have ACT installed as well. I could be confusing the address books.

Thank you all! Stupid error has been driving me crazy. Just annoying since Outlook worked fine when I restarted it. I've been trying to get rid of the Norton toolbar anyway since I've installed Cloudmark's Spamnet which is working a lot better for me. Toolbar kept coming back even tho I'd disabled it in Norton Internet Security. So now I'm very happy. BTW - I'm running Outlook 2000 on XP Mediacenter.

Hi,It is easy to uninstall a Plugin. Just that if your plugin, keeps getting itself added again and again, then you have an issue (and tht's when you may want to uninstall it or delete it). try Options->Other->Advanced->Com Plugin manager.

Hi JB, I have the same BS reply from Symantec a few months ago. And as you'd already know, NOTHING happened. It's over six months since this problem was first reported, so I won't hold my breath waiting for a solution from them.Maybe we should tell them to check out this thread so that they'll know how many pissed off customers they have created.

I'm running Outlook 2000 with Norton Antispam 2004 and have this exact issue with Profiles. I'm glad I found this site. Randy's fix worked for me too, but now I don't have the toolbar. I wish Symantec would do something. While I wait, I'll publish my feelings on Amazon website.

On opening Outlook 2000, I would receive the error message: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library, abnormal program termination. Clicking the OK button would just terminate Outlook, but if I waited too long, I could only shut down Outlook with Ctrl-Alt-Del.I was about to reinstal Office 2000 but couldn't find the cd. Thank God I couldn't. PLAXO IS THE PROBLEM!!! Thanks Randy! Michael

What you need to do is to hold down the Ctrl key and start outlook. After you start, keep holding the ctrl key down and delete the most recent emails that are suspicious. Your problem will be solved.

hi,i've got a similar problem with Outlook 2000 running on win98 SE using norton system works 2003. i'd been away for 6 weeks and upon my return had hundreds of emails in my inbox. trying to reply or create new messages since my return generates the same runtime error described here followed by Outlook shutdown. i'm not using multiple profiles nor does Norton system works 2003 have an anti-spam feature, so i don't think this is the problem. some posts here have mentioned acrobat and i did recently uninstall acrobat 6 while away (although i don't see how the two issues could be related). any advice?

Recent fresh install (from formatted drive):WinXP Pro, all updates as of 30 Apr 2004 Off2k Pro, all updates as of 30 Apr 2004 Money 2004, all updates as of 30 Apr 2004 NIS 2004, all updates as of 30 Apr 2004 Partition Magic v7.01 (can you guess when I reinstalled? :) I had another error relating to a TV Tuner card, so removed and sold the TV tuner card, and started from scratch. Prior to reinstall, I had the same problem; fast-user switching, Outlook (separate .PST files) would give runtime error on startup. "OK"ing the error would allow Outlook to run on subsequent attempts. After reading posts here, I verified that the "failed startup" of Outlook was in fact related to a Fast-User-Switching event. As Pete recommended, I renamed the "MSOUPLUG.DLL" to "MSOUPLUG.DLL.OLD" (in file folder location "<root>\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\Antispam"). I have fast-user-switched several times with no problems. Not a big deal; I don't have any email addresses on Outlook that even get spam. Thanks for the help everyone; goes to prove the Internet really can be a useful tool. ..dane

This error was reported to Symantec in September 2003. Of course they blamed Microsoft. I cannot understand why they are not able to fix it. Maybe we should demand a discount for not functioning software or force them to post a recall./ times are changing we have to deal with these problems other way, we cannot tolerate nonstop software patches if there are any/ I tested NIS with outlook 2000, XP, 2003 in windows XP home, pro with the same error results.E-mail Hello Tomasz, Thank you for contacting Symantec Online Technical Support. In your message you wrote: >Microsoft Outlook 2000 with installed Spam Task Bar / Msouplug.dll installed/ opened for the first time abnormally terminates with the error message. Opened Outlook for the second time works fine. ErrorMessage: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library. Runtime Error Program\....\Outlook.exe This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in ubnormal way. Tomasz, in order to resolve the issue we need to gather some more information. Please come back to us with the following information: 1. What is the exact error message (Error Name, Error No)? 2. Do you get the error message when opening Norton Internet Security (NIS) or when opening Microsoft Outlook? 3. Did the installation of Norton Internet Security (NIS) complete successfully? Please be informed that if the issue occurs when opening Outlook, then I suggest that you please contact your System Vendor as some of the files may be corrupt. Thank you for your patience and co-operation. We are looking forward to assist you. Regards, Sujith Prasad Symantec Authorized Technical Support

I have a good workaround for this. Once you disable the Outlook plugin you will not have the function to mark an email as spam and remove. But Antispam is doing a good job at marking most of my spam emails with [Norton AntiSpam] in the subject area. What I did was to create a rule using Outlook 2003 to move any emails with [Norton AntiSpam] in the subject area to the Norton Antispam Folder. This might no be 100% helpfull if Antispam is not catching all your spam messages. So far it is working good for me and it is making my day easier. I'll keep you posted if I find anything else.

I have the same problem WIN98 Outlook200 and NIS2004. Recently the ANTISPAM update failed and I can't get the NIS control panel to open.However to run a very good anti spam filter try POPFILE from: http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ This works in the same way. POPFILE acts as a proxy for your POP3 mail box and adds [spam] to the subject of intenet headers - you can then filter in outlook with rules. POPFILE is very flexible and customisable. I recommend it. ( Don't be put off that it is written in Perl the download is a windows executable that works fine.) TF

There could be another work-around to the Outlook 2000 / NIS 2004 problem.For some time I was running two accounts on the same machine, but both profiles were using the same .pst file. I had rules set up to re-direct incoming mail to the correct folder. (This was because my wife didn't check her mail very often). During this time, I had no crashes. I've just created seperate .pst files in their own profiles and now the crashing has started when opening outlook for the 1st time after logging on as a different user. Therefore, for some users (if security isn't an issue), it may be a work-around to use a common .pst file. Still doesn't seem to be anything on the Symantec site regarding this problem!

I have XP Pro and am running MS Office 2000, Microsoft Outlook 2000 SP-3 - Internet Mail Only. The only Symantec application I have installed (that I am aware of) is Symantec Fax Starter Edition 2.0. I also have Adobe 6.0 installed. I get the same error message everyone has reported when I am deleting messages from my deleted email folder. This is a random problem and only happens with some of the emails I try to delete. I don't know if or how this may help. MvG

I have Windows 2000 and Outlook 2000. I recieved the outlook generated visual c++ runtime library;runtime error;.....outlook.exe abnormal program termination. I tried as others had uninstalling Microsoft office; reboot; then reinstall. This DID NOT HELP. I found the problem on my system. I recently bought Adobe Acrobat 6.0 and found that it did not remove Adobe Acrobat 4.0. When I uninstalled Adobe Acrobat 4.0, I started getting errors in all my office programs and had to delete some of the acrobat files that were located in various startup folders in Microsoft office. This took care of all my problems accept for the one with Outlook 2000. Realizing that this was probably the problem, I finally re-installed my new version of Acrobat 6.0 and the problem went away. I must assume that these software programs that link to Outlook can screw things up escpecially in my case when they are not removed properly. Shame on Adobe for not testing that their uninstall alorythm removes all its fingers properly

I recently rebuilt my PC. Fresh install of Win XP Pro, Office XP Pro, and NIS 2004 with Antispam. What do you know Outlook crashes when opened under a new profile. 2 weeks ago I upgraded to Office 2003, and what do you know - exactly the same issue.Symantec first told me to download all updates for office 2003, which I did, and what do know - the problem persists. Symantec then suggested that I uninstall and re-load with Windows in clean boot mode - well I did that too. I'm sure you guys won't be surprised when I tell you that Outlook 2003 still crashes. I have to say that the rest of the product works well, and even Antispam catches most of the spam once you are past the pain in the ass error message. It really is time that Symantec got this one resolved!!!!

It is now over six months since this thread was started and there is no sign of a fix from Symantec.They are probably too busy working on NIS2005 to bother trying to fix this.

Totally agreed with "NortonHosedMyOutlook" and "frozenJim".I don't mind doing a bit of 'user' testing/debugging for their products, but it's Symantec's responsibility to at least acknowledge there is a problem and provide a solution. As all of you can see till this day, NOTHING about this problem is listed in their knowledgebase. I have been a user of Symantec Norton products for over 4 years, and this (2004) year's product have been the most unstable and with the worst support service ever. We do need to voice our dissatisfaction.

We are all having the same problem:Close Outlook. Open Outlook with another profile. CRASH! VC++ Error. Hundreds of us have paid Symantec Support about this one. To some of us they say "you're wrong". Others hear "Our Technicians cannot duplicate your problem". Others hear "We are aware of the problem". THEY ARE LYING BECAUSE THEY ARE MAKING A FORTUNE WITH THEIR GODDAMN PAY-PER-INCIDENT SUPPORT LINES!!! There is no known fix on any newsgroups. But Pete has the right idea; just rename the file C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\Antispam\MSOUPLUG.DLL to anything else. Has anyone heard of a Symantec mediated Newsgroup? I bet not! They make more money supporting their product than they do selling it.

I have NIS2004 and Outlook2000 on WinXP (all french versions), and I used to get a Runtime Error when opening Outlook on the first attempt after another user. Deleting MsouPlug.dll (renamed into MsouPlug.old) did it, although I also got rid of the Anti-Spam feature from NIS2004. Let's hope Microsoft and/or Symantec will publish something on this, before NIS2010 and Outlook2025 ;-D

I am running Windows 2000 Terminal Server with SP3 and Office XP without any SP/SR. I continually have the same error as described in the original post. However, I do not have any antivirus software installed as mentioned by most of you. I have found that if I select New for a new message, close that new message (without sending it), I can then open existing emails without getting the error. I have been able to constantly reproduce the issue if I uncheck the "Use Microsoft Word to edit e-mail messages," located in Tools > Options > Mail format, even if I select New message. Once I check that option again, I am able to create new messages and read existing messages. If anyone has any ideas concerning my version of this problem, please post. Thanks in advance!

I have the same problem as most of you guys. My setup is either Windows 2000 Pro or XP Pro running Office XP and Outlook setup for multiple profile (email accounts).I have to constantly switch between profiles so the runtime error annoys the hell out of me. I found a not so elegant (band aid) sort of way of temporary getting rid of the runtime error and it seems to work under my config, at least until the efficient programmers at Symantec finds a way around this problem. As most of you would have already noticed, NIS or NAS keeps putting the Antispam addin back into Outlook even if you try to remove it, and that is the culprit that's causing the error. What I did is rename the NIS antispam addin to another name (eg. from MsouPlug.dll to MsouPlug.bak) so the antispam program can't find it. This seems to work as NIS didn't generate any error and just skips loading the addin. You can find this MsouPlug.dll in directory <drive>:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\Antispam Let me know whether that will help. Good luck!

I'm getting the same error, however with different circumstances.Win XP, Office XP. Trend Micro OfficeScan, not NAV Get the error while a user deletes messages from the inbox. I've tried the MS fix of unchecking Exchange Scan, but still no good. I think it's a problem with Outlook, not Symantec... Just my two cents... If anyone knows a fix, please post asap Regards, Bryan.

I did a complete reinstall. It does NOT solve the Problem. I got an answer from Symantec: They know about the problem and are working on a solution. I had to wait 8 weeks to get an answer!! Service does notwork very fast!!!

I've now got the error having yesterday installed NIS 2004 onto my XP Pro notebook with Outlook 2000. I've also got multiple profiles. My home machine which has NIS 2004 installed but has only one profile has no problems.

Just so no one will bother, if you trust my testing, I uninstalled each Windows HotFix one at a time and tested Outlook. Got the error each time. I did this because one site mentioned it might be the hotfixes. Not on my machine.Trying now to uninstall and reinstall Office XP again, will post again if it does work. Still trying here... Diane

I also have the same problem. I am using NAV 2004 and Outlook 2003. I've formated one week ago and the problem continues, so, I think, that this problem isn't from our computers, I believe it is may be located im the Outlook or in the Office.

I've got the same problem using NAS2004 and Outlook 2000 on Win2000SP4. Can't uncheck the Anti-Spam add-in, as then Outlook closes with errors!

I have the same problem with Outlook 2002 and NIS2004. I turned off the Exchange Scan add-in in Outlook as suggested by Gao on 12/02/2003. Now, one of my outlook profiles works as it should, but another outlook profile still generates the the runtime error. (I turned off the Exchange Scan add-in in both profiles.)

Runtime error after a recent Adobe Acrobat installation:You can solve the problem by starting Adobe Acrobat and checking the option, that Acrobat should show pdf files in a browser window and not in a separtely opened window. After Acrobat has installed this feature, Outlook will open messages without the abnormal program termination. System: Windows XP pro, Outlook 2000, Acrobat 6.0.

My solution on the error message: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Runtime Error! Program: ...\OUTLOOK.EXE abnormal program termination was to uninstall Office 2000 (from the CD) AND then run the eraser2k: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http://support.microsoft.com:80/support/kb/articles/q239/9/38.asp&NoWebContent=1 - thereby removing the remaining Office files in the regristry. Afterwards I reinstalled Office. On opening Outlook I had the choice to reinstall the former Outlook data and I did - and voila! Outlook is back to normal! Hope it works for you guys!

I'm seeing the same problem with the addition of outlook being incredibly slow when it isn't crashing. The crashing occurs when starting a new email, or opening a recieved email. Previewing in the preview pane won't crash it. I've run Office Update, and restore and repair, neither of which helped. Using the runas service will also cause the same crash when trying to use any program. Outlook is also incredibly fast at exiting, as though it isn't really exiting and going through the routine but just stopping.All this started soon after install Adobe 6, though outlook does not appear to be using Adobe in anyway. Oh, and it's all on a terminal server, which makes things a little more interesting.

Sorry, but i did not mention my System configuration. Same like yours Diane. Outlook 2002, xp Prof. and multi-user. In Germany you have to pay 29€/call (about the same in $) if you nead help from norton/symantec. Seems like they do not care. I tried to change the priority of "acc.exe". No error messages since then. I will let you know if it helped.

Jay the document you refer to talks about the issues of NIS 2004 with Outlook 2003. Mine is an issue re NIS 2004 with Outlook 2002. The workaround I received from Symantec referred to below has worked for me the first time I rebooted but I am sceptical the fix will continue to work.

I called Symantec today also. The support guy said they think they have enough info to recreate the issue and resolve it.I sent them screen shots of the termination and subsequent start-up "do you want to disable the plug-in" windows. He said it sound like "NAS 2004 plugin" is attempting to get information about the e-mail accounts before its cleaned up control blocks from the previous account session ... this is why it seems to appear only after switching accounts, users or logout/login. It should be coming out as a "live update" in the future. He said they will post any progress in the following DOC. http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/nip.nsf/docid/2003091515582536 I know what is currently in the DOC says very little to help ... but let's keep an eye on it. If we could tell OUTLOOK not to send/receive e-mail during start-up we would have a temporary work-around ... but that option doesn't seem to be available. Does anyone know if that can be done? I'll keep looking ... see ya later

Hey Jay, You are right on the money. I have installed, they same setup as your self and get the same results, yet if I get rid of one of my Email profiles (Your refer to it as Different User) it happens then. If I leave my multi user setting then I have to chose that setting (user) twice before it works. Hopefully Symantec will fix this soon. Fee

Most real technical support desks would have shipped this type of problem from this many users to a developer and let the users know they are working on the issue. It appears it involves OUTLOOK, XP with multiple users and Norton ANTISPAM 2004. It seems to only occur at initiation of OUTLOOK after using XP switch user function. Does everyone agree on this? If so maybe we can beg someone at Symantec to set up a similar system so they can RECREATE the issue and resolve it.

I have the same issue as Dan 11/25 and Chris 11/30. I have Windows XP home with multiple accounts and OUTLOOK 2003. Problem began after installing Norton Antispam 2004. E-mailed Symantec and they act as if they have never heard of this before. My probem # is 1086267 open with Symantec. Can Dan and Chris list there numbers so we can reference those when we talk to Symantec .. they must be aware this is a bigger issue than they let on.I have reinstalled Internet Security as they suggested and tried all other avenues. Sure this could also be an OUTLOOK issue .. all I want is for someone to resolve it and it is only happening with NAS 2004.

MY SOLUTION: In my case, the problem was a corrupted Outlook .pst file. I used the Microsoft tool SCANPST.EXE and everything was alright. Refer to Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 287497 "How to Use the Inbox Repair Tools to Recover Messages". What happened before: I started Outlook while NAV2004 was scanning my computer (C:\), the system stopped responding. After rebooting, Outlook would come up with that "runtime error" every time I started it.

Well, looks like I'm not the only one to have this problem. I have no fix, but this is what I can contribute.NAS runs great, but I do get this error only when I switch users on the machine. Close the error box and restart Outlook and everything is fine. As long as I don't switch users I'm fine. I've duplicated this on three different machines. Win2KPro and XP Pro. If you just have one user, you can power up your machine and use Outlook and never have this problem. I was running Office 2000 Pro. On one machine, I installed a new hard drive, new XP Pro and then Office 2003. Yep, still get the error when switching users. I did get my way through to a support person at Symantec without having to pay or give up my credit card number. After researching and checking with their programmers, I was told that this was a new issue that they hadn't heard about. I reported this on or about November 19. Hopefully they will find, fix and supply a patch soon.
