Running Win98 with Office 2000. &nbsp;Removed Outlook Express 5 after installing Office and Outlook 2000 didn't like it so I put it back on again.<br />
<br />
Now Outlook is complaining that C:\Windows\Application Data\Microsoft\Addins is an invalid add-in very time I launch it. &nbsp;I removed any add-ins from the add-in manager and then realised that it was actually the COM Add-in that was complaining.<br />
<br />
No COM Add-ins are listed but I get that message every time I go into the COM Add-ins manager screen as well. &nbsp;Somewhere it must be trying to open an Add-in that it does not like but because it is not successful it will not list it. &nbsp;Any idea how to get rid of this error message?<br />

COM Add-ins problem
