After removing several programs from my computer, Outlook
will not start and gives error message "Cannot find IDAPI
files. Check registry." Outlook tries to fix itself but
still produces error. I have deleted and re-loaded, still
does not work.
Seems to be a problem with the address book that for some
reason has always defaulted to "Corel 8 settings". I note
that the address book in Word Perfect 10 also does not
work anymore and tried re-loading Word Perfect but still
have problem.
 
Frank - I've got the same problem. I am presently on hold with Microsoft (29 minute wait). If I find a solution I'll share it with. I too have tried all the things you mention with no luck. So much for trying to free up disc space.

Here's the fix - go to control panel/mail icon. Click on e-mail accounts. Under Directory click on view or change existing directories or address books. Higlight Corel 8 Address Book and remove. Fixed my problem. Good Luck.
