MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / July 2006Microsoft Outlook Error at Startup
I am setting up a new Dell PC running Windows XP. When I startup I get a message saying "Microsoft Outlook - Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client can't fulfull the messaging request. Run Nicrosoft Outlook and set up it as the default mail client. This message appears twice at startup". When I check Outlook it says in Options/Mail Delivery/Accounts that I have a mail delivery account setup as default. So now I am stumped as to what to do" to eliminate the two startup error messages. Try a new mail profile.  SignatureMilly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. All unsolicited mail sent to my personal account will be deleted without reading. After furious head scratching, Jim Stanaway asked: | I am setting up a new Dell PC running Windows XP.

I went into Outlook and set up a new Default Mail Client via "Tools/Accounts/Mail" Or should I be doing something else. This did not solve the Problem. Still getting the Starup error and also can't email an Internet page as a Link or as a Page. I get the same message... Mail Accout != Mail Profile. Control panel->Mail Icon->profiles->new.

I am running Windows XP Media Center 5.1 and when I go to control panel/Mail I get" Internet Accouts as my next screen not Profile" This is the same screen I get when I open Outlook when I go to Tool/Account/Mail. Going via the control panel / mail -- again I tried setting up a new Account and setting it as default but this did not solved the problem. I still get the same Error message. How or where do I find Profile ??? What am I doing wrong? > I am running Windows XP Media Center 5.1 and when I go to control > panel/Mail I get" Internet Accouts as my next screen not Profile" You're using Outlook 2000 in Internet Mode Only, which does not allow access to the mail profile via the user interface. It always helps to state your Outlook version and mode, if applicable, in the very first post so that people can make the correct suggestions at the outset. To create a new mail profile with your Outlook, you have two choices. One is that you can reconfigure your Outlook to use Corporate/Workgroup mode, which will change Tools>Accounts to Tools>Services and will make profiles available in Control Panel. The second is that you can, with Outlook closed, remove your current profile with the Registry Editor. It's in the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\Microsoft Outlook Internet Settings . When you restart Outlook it will create a new profile for you. SignatureBrian Tillman Thanks Brian for the info. but I am not sure how to do the things you suggested. I have never used Regedit before and thus don't know how to go about deleting my current profile as you suggested. I would need step by step instructions so I don't end up screwing up the registry and really be in trouble. Thus, how do I go about reconfiguring Outlook to use Corporate/Workgroup mode? This sounds to be the best alternative. I can't see where Outlook allows me to change to the Corp/workgroup mode. Thanks for your help.... > Thanks Brian for the info. but I am not sure how to do the things you > suggested.

If you decide not to use Corporate/Workgroup mode, write back and I'll detail it. > Thus, how do I go about reconfiguring Outlook to use > Corporate/Workgroup mode?

The button will say "Reconfigure Mail Support" or "Reconfigure Outlook", or something like that. I don't recall the exact words. Keep in mind that if you do this, you will not be able to access IMAP mail accounts. If you don't use an IMAP account, there should be no issue. SignatureBrian Tillman Thanks Brian--- I reconfigure Outlook to use Corporate/Workgroup mode as you instructed and this looks like it has solved my Problem. I don't know what a IMAP accounts is so I don't think I use them. Thus, I should not have any problem. Thanks again!!! I have read through the answers posted by Brian Tillman but no such file under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\Microsoft Outlook Internet Settings . I did find a entry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE series\Partners\1476103a Could this be the right entry in my registry? I cannot go to corporate/workgroup mode as the options button is not activated when i open the tools menu Thx Kobus > > I am running Windows XP Media Center 5.1 and when I go to control > > panel/Mail I get" Internet Accouts as my next screen not Profile" [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\Microsoft Outlook Internet Settings .

No. That's for syncing your PDA. > I cannot go to corporate/workgroup mode as the options button is not > activated when i open the tools menu You could always uninstall and reinstall, choosing the C/W mode. SignatureBrian Tillman Not really. The installation routine never really provided that choice. It decides for you unless you cancel the routine mid-way through. I've never seen an installation of Outlook 2000 that didn't provide the option to change modes.

It's been a LONG time since I installed Outlook 2000, so I was hazarding a guess. I though I had remembered there was a choice, but I certainly defer to your knowledge. SignatureBrian Tillman There is a choice, just not one anyone could ever discover on their own unless they cancel the installation routine. Something about the original post just doesn't ring true. There's more to this story. The option to change modes doesn't just disappear. SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > >> Not really.
