Hi guys, just wondered if anyone had any suggestions for getting rid of this error message that flashes up whenever I open Outlook:
The add-in"c:\progra~1\mcafee.com\vso\vsoplg.dll" could not be installed or loaded. You may be out of memory, out of sytem resources, or missing a .dll file
I am on XP Home, don't have Mcafee installed (possibly had a trial version when computer was new but it doesn't appear on Add/Remove Programs) and have plenty of Ram. I have used Detect and Repair and reloaded CD-Rom but error is still there. It doesn't cause any problems but I would like to get rid of it if possible. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks

in add is, uncheck all the add ins (if any are there) and then restart outlook, is the error gone? Re-check the add ins one by one until you find the baddie.
If this don't work, uninstall outlook, run a system cleaner (www.ccleaner.com) and re-install. I've seen it before with adds that were non existent and detect and repair didnt work.0 -
