IHi,
I'm trying to install Office 2003 Pofessional Because my computer crashed
and the words and excel I haven;t any problems but when I try opening
theOutlook it is telling me (cannot start microsoft office outlook ,MAP
132.DLL is corrupted.
Please help me solve this problem because I have been from yesterday
installing and uninstalling with no results.
Thank you beforehand
Best regards

Open Windows Explorer and navigate to:

\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\<langid>

(e.g. english systems, the folder is \Program Files\Common
Files\System\MSMAPI\1033)

within this folder is a file named mapi32.dll. Rename it to mapi32.old

close windows explorer and try starting Outlook 2003. (the missing file
should force a repair operation.)

there is also a utility called fixmapi.exe that might be helpful. (its in
the \windows\system32 folder)
 
After installing the Trial Office Suite 07 without removing OUT 03 I couldn't
open it because of the MAPI file. I have done the name changing for the MAPI
file and still, I can't open OUT 03. So, after looking everywhere and wasting
lot of time I decided to install the 07 trial version for OUT... Impossible,
even uninstalling and downloading it again didn't help. I dont have 03 and I
can't download 07!!!!!!
 
I would try this...

1) Uninstall Office 2007
2) Reboot
3) Verify that \Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\1033 has been
removed by Office 2007 uninstaller, if it hasn't, delete the MSMAPI folder
4) Install Office 2003
5) Apply Office 2003 SP2
6) Try starting Outlook, if it hangs at this point, create a new mail
profile via the mail applet in the control panel. (Do not copy the existing
one. Create a new one to see if Outlook will work under that new profile.)

If you still have problem at this point, does Outlook start under a new user
id that was created on the operating system? (e.g. create a new user under
windows xp, logon to the new id and try Outlook to see if it is isolated to
just the logon id.)
