JSI Tip 1354. Microsoft Exchange Client will not start?


If the cursor changes to Working in Background or Busy, and then back to normal, and/or you receive:

   Windows Messaging: exchng32.exe - Ordinal Not Found

   The ordinal 30 could not be located in the dynamic link library MAPI32.dll
you probably have Outlook Express configured with Make Outlook Express my default Simple MAPI client.

To fix the problem:

1. Open Outlook Express

2. Click Tools / General tab and uncheck Make Outlook Express my default Simple MAPI client.

3. Click OK and OK.

When you origonally checked Make Outlook Express my default Simple MAPI client, you received:


   Enabling Outlook Express as your Simple MAPI provider will allow you
   to send documents from other programs using the Send command on the
   File menu. You should do this if Outlook Express is the only mail
   program you use.

   Other MAPI-enabled applications such as Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft
   Outlook and Windows Messaging will be disabled if you make Outlook
   Express your Simple MAPI client, but they will work again when you
   deselect this option.

   Are you sure you want to set Outlook Express as your Simple MAPI
   client?
