Thanks for the info...I was having the same problem and your list of 3 really
helped!

I was having the exact same issue -- happened when I either created a new

worked.

I have been using Office 2007 since RTM (installed via DVD) and then
installed Vista Home Ultimate when it came out (via DVD). As well, "Show
hidden files and folders" is selected.

What I tried:
1. I searched for extend.dat, found it, and deleted it.
THEN: I restarted Outlook...same issue happened

2. I went into the registry and in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Exchange\Cli ent\Extensions I found the
faxextension.dll and deleted it
THEN: I restarted Outlook...same issue happened

3. Then I looked a Russ's path for Vista
users(drive:\Users\%UserProfile%\AppData\Local\M icrosoft\Outlook ) found
extend.dat and deleted it.
THEN: I restarted Outlook...and this finally worked.

I've seen several similar reports, but we've not had any steps to repro the
problem and can't tell whether this is an Outlook or Vista problem. What
were the steps that produced the error for you (including how you installed
your OS and how you installed Office, including its version). Did you try
the solution in this thread? It's the most logical place to start.

I am having this identical problem, except it only occurs for me when I try
new message (not on reply) and it only happens once on each opening of
Outlook. I'm told it may be fixed by running detect and repair, but this
was
information for XP and not for Vista. I think this is a problem with Vista
and not with Outlook. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the answer but no extend.dat file found.

Did you enable viewing hidden files and folders? For Windows XP, look
in
%UserProfile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook. Vista
has a similar path, but I don't yet have it memorized.

Glad to be of help. And yes, Russ, I had first done the Office 2007 upgrade
and then when I did the Vista upgrade that is when the issue began happening
(among others issues, all related to Vista, but that is a horse of a
different color and a thread of a different name...)

Glad my clues helped. Couldn't have it figured it out without everyone
else's input. Gosh, let's do a group hug...

I had the same problem when upgrading to Vista and Office 2007. Unfortunately the fixes listed in this thread did not work for me. I could never find the Extend.dat file. I struggled with this for a few months until I came across another fix on the internet. Can't remember where.

Anyways it worked for me and was actually quite simple. In Outlook 2007 follow these procedures, starting with the Tools Menu.

ToolsTrust Center
Select Add-ins from the left side menu
At the very bottom of the page there is a task bar labeled Manage:
In the task bar scroll to Exchange Client Extensions, then select the GO button to the right.
The Add-in Manager should appear and you should see some sort of Fax option, with a couple of other items above or below it.
Un-check the fax item and select OK.

You should be golden now.

Open Windows Explorer and enter the following in the Address bar:

%UserProfile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

Click Go. You should see the file in the Explorer window that opens.

The approach of deleting the extend.dat file works when the add-in doesn't
show in the Add-ins.

I tried downloading the dll to C:\Windows\System32 and this did not stop the
error message. Better to disable the "Fax Extension" add-in, as follows:



In Outlook, click "Tools" / "Trust Center..." / "Add-Ins"



At the bottom of the screen, click "Exchange Client Extensions". Click
"Go"



Uncheck "Fax Extension Add-In". Click "OK"



Exit Outlook and reload. Should get rid of the error message.

Your suggestion worked great. Having been dealing with this for 6 months and had shut outlook down.

I have the same issue.I upgraded to windows vista 32 bit.I have microsoft
outlookxp 2002.When I send email from Outlook.c:\windows\system32\fxsext32.
dll could not be installed or loaded.This problem may be resolved by using
detect and repair.Unable to loadc:\windows\system32\fxsext32.dll may be out
of memory,out of system resources,or missing a .dll file. Would the fix for
me (assuming there is one)be the same since I am using microsoft outlook xp
2002?
Thanks

Remove that extension from your Add-in manger.
