Microsoft Outlook 2003 error

error message in Outlook 2003
"An OLE registration error occurred" ...

this message is very irritating because the first time i tried was to reinstall the whole microsoft office 2003 as the error message says one of my setup is corrupted ,please run the setup again..

Tried to reinstalled and it doesnt work at all so i tried the workaround from microsoft site.Doesnt work as well...until i found this on GOOGLE..(messiah for me once again).
If you hit the following ,recommend you try the following method before reinstalling(save you a lot of time if it works).....

Try the following methods (method 2 works for me)
Method 1

Register the dll file by running this command "regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\ole32.dll" in dos prompt.

Try and see if the error message goes away.

Method 2

1. Send/Receive pull-dpown menu (same button which gives the error message)

2. Send/Receive Settings

3. Uncheck "Make This Folder Available Offline"

4. Check "Make This Folder Available Offline" again

This method works for me.....
