SYMPTOMS
If you install Microsoft Outlook 97, Service Release 2 (SR-2), on a computer that has Lotus cc:Mail 7.x or 8.x installed, cc:Mail may stop responding when connecting to a cc:Mail post office and you may receive the following message:

A fatal error has occurred. The program will be shut down C0000005 - BFF7B983

If you click OK, cc:Mail will close.

If you click behind the error message and into the cc:Mail 8.x software, you can access the post office. However, if you create a new message and click send, you may receive the following message:

WMAIL32 caused an invalid page fault in module KERNEL32.DLL At.



CAUSE
Outlook installs new Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) files, which are incompatible with the Lotus cc:Mail transport provided with cc:Mail client. The Lotus cc:Mail clients 7.x/8.x use version 4.x (4.00.993.3 or 4.00.834.839).



RESOLUTION
The resolution below allows cc:Mail 8.x/7.x to coexist with Outlook:  Place a copy of the Outlook Mapisp32.exe file from the Windows\System folder, in the same folder as the Wmail32.exe file. Place a copy of the older Mapi32.dll file in the same folder as the Wmail32.exe file. The older file is version 4.00.993.3 from the Office 97 compact disc, or version 4.00.834.839 extracted from the Lotus cc:Mail compact disc at

:\winmail\r8win32\win95\wmset1.cab

where  is the drive letter for your CD-ROM drive. Keep the Outlook version of Mapi32.dll and Mapisp32.exe, in the Windows\System folder. Restart the computer.
