SYMPTOMS
When you try to open an embedded object after you apply the Outlook E-mail Security Update, the object does not load; however, even if you exit Outlook, a small internal memory leak causes Outlook to remain loaded in memory.



RESOLUTION
A supported fix that corrects this problem is now available from Microsoft, but it has not been fully regression tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem. If you are not severely affected by this specific problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Microsoft Office 2000 service release that contains this fix.

The English-language version of this fix should have the following file attributes or later:

  Date          Version        Size       File name 9/28/2000    9.00.00.4527   5,324,850  Outllib.dll



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
The E-mail Security Update adds a feature that prevents the opening of embedded objects in messages. Because malicious code may run when you open an embedded object, you are less susceptible to a virus attack.
