SYMPTOMS
When you try to open a Microsoft Outlook 98 item, you may receive the following error message:

Could not load an object because it is not available on this machine.



CAUSE
There is a reference to an ActiveX control in the item's form, and you do not have the appropriate library files for that control registered and installed on your computer.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior use either of these two methods.

Method 1
Click OK to the error message. The item will open without displaying the problem control.

Method 2
Contact the author of the form to determine how to install and register the control on your computer. This method may involve installing an additional program that provides the control.
