SYMPTOMS
After you click Send in a new e-mail message in Outlook 2000, you may receive the following error message:

 * 2) In the Named box, type outlwab.dll.
 * 3) In the Look in dialog box, click to select the My Computer check box, and then click either Find Now or Search Now.
 * 4) Right-click Outlwab.dll from the list of found files, and then click Rename.
 * 5) Rename the file to outlwab.old, and then press ENTER.
