SYMPTOMS
When you are using the Net Folders feature of Microsoft Outlook 98, and you open Outlook, you may receive the following error message:

Outlook has performed an invalid page fault in module fldpub.dll at 015f:4c51a697.

Or, although Outlook may start without the error, the message may occur when you try to send a Net Folders update or subscription. The memory address referenced may vary.



CAUSE
This error may be caused by either of the following:
 * An improper registration of the components that Net Folders uses to share items and send updates.

-or-
 * There may be damage to the files that make up the Net Folders feature set.



RESOLUTION
Follow the steps in each of these methods until your problem is resolved.

Method 1
When the Net Folders option is selected in the Add Components option of Outlook 98 Active Setup, a utility called Nfclean.exe is installed. If you run the Nfclean utility, your Net folders may be removed.

To use Nfclean.exe to reset the Net Folders structure, follow these steps:
 * 1) On the Start menu, point to Find, and then click Files Or Folders.
 * 2) In the Named box, type Nfclean . In the Look in list click My Computer. Click to select the Include Subfolders check box. Click Find Now.
 * 3) Double-click Nfclean to run the program. This utility provides no user interface as it works. You may only see an hourglass pointer briefly.
 * 4) Start Outlook and test Net Folders functionality.

Method 2
This method for refreshing the Net Folders feature involves turning off the Net Folders and Rules Wizard add-ins. To turn off these add-ins and refresh the Net Folders, follow these steps:
 * 1) On the Tools menu, click Options. Click the Other tab.
 * 2) Click Advanced Options, and then click Add-In Manager.
 * 3) Click to clear the Net Folders and Rules Wizard check boxes. Click OK three times to close all dialog boxes.
 * 4) On the File menu, click Exit And Log Off.
 * 5) Restart Outlook.
 * 6) Repeat the steps 1 and 2 to select the Net Folders and Rules Wizard check boxes, and click OK three times to close all dialog boxes.
 * 7) On the File menu, click Exit And Log Off, and then restart Outlook to test Net Folders.

Method 3
If the steps outlined in Methods 1 and 2 do not resolve the error, you need to replace the key files in the Net Folders feature set. To replace these files, follow these steps:  On the Start menu, point to Find, and then click Files Or Folders. Use the procedure described in step 2 of Method 1 to locate the following files, and rename each file by changing the file name extension to .old:

Fldpub.ecf

Rwiz1.ecf

Fldpub.dll

 On the Start menu, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel. Double-click the Add/Remove icon, and then click Microsoft Outlook 98. Click Add/Remove. Click Rerun Outlook Setup. This action will reinstall the last installation and replace the files that you renamed in step 2. Restart Outlook. Reinitiate Net Folders sharing.</ol>
