I'm having this problem after uninstalling an office 2007 trial, then installing 2003 before removing the trial.  

I saw a purported fix on a microsoft site, which instucts to search for mapi32.dll, change the name, then run fixmapi.exe.  My problem is that when i run a search for mapi21.dll i get twelve files.  theyre all LIKE THIS: I386WIN9XMIG\MAPI\80\80\CAB, but the numbers at the end change, e.g,801 instead of 80 etc

Thanks for this.  I had been searching for a solution to this for a while, but I had this same problem with Office 2007 in an WS2003 and Exchange 2003 environment.

The fixmapi solution referenced above worked for one PC and the copying of the OLMAPI32.dll file from one pc to another fixed the other one.
