already was that is what has made this confusing

 

I assume you've already setup Outlook with a profile and email account yes?

If so, what program / website are you running that returns that error for you?

Yes i have had one for years on this pc.  that error shows up on boot up.  And for the most part i think it doesn't matter.  But i am using 123 Sync (Act sync with outlook program) and having problems with it and i think this is the culprit.

But i am using 123 Sync

Try disabling it and see if that solves the problem. If it does, then you can contact support to see how to resolve it.

well no...... it(sync 123) doesn't work now thats the problem.   So it (sync 123) is not engaged. program runs independent.  Reaches out to tap both outlook and Act and do two way sync and it doesn't work.  The author of that program said the problem is the problem i am trying to correct here.

What bit version of Outlook do you have installed? Looking over the various responses in this thread, sounds very much like there is a 32bit program starting up trying to access Outlook with 64bit Outlook installed.

i am running a 64 bit outlook.  BUT remember the problem with the additional program i am trying to run (Sync 123) has nothing to do with my question (in my opinion and for stated reasons).  I get the error i have attached on a cold boot up.  I feel like once i solve that problem that my problem running 123 will be solved. that was the only reason i brought up the issue of 123. ie if i uninstalled sync 123 i would still get this at boot up.  I have been running these two programs for over 7 years together.  Just recently did i start to get the attached error message on boot. thanks
