Does anyone have a solution to the problem? I have done the same that is described below. Thanks in advance. I am suddenly unable to open Outlook 2003 - I get the following error messages: "The extension configuration file "C:\Program Fils\Microsoft Office\Office11\ADDINS\msspc.ecf could not be installed. There is an error in the syntax or format of the file."; then, "The extension configuration file "C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~3\Pffice11\addins\MSSPC.ECF could not be installed. There is an error in the syntax or format of the file."; then, "The file folder in "MSSPC.ECF" is missing or not valid. This problem may be resolved by using Detect and Repair in the Help menu.", then, "Cannot start MS Outlook. Unable to open the Outlook window." The problem appeared on the first reboot after a dowload of an update from Microsoft. Among other things, tried uninstalling and reinstalling MS Office, replacing the file, and running Detect and Repair from the installation CD, but to no avail. I'm a bit nervous about editing the Registry to change the path so did not attempt that. OS is XP. Any suggestions? Thx., piecd[/QUOTE] geohoss, Apr 13, 2006 #1 Sponsor dvk01 Derek Moderator Malware Specialist Joined: Dec 14, 2002 Messages: 50,243 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/918165? dvk01, Apr 16, 2006 #2 bertoruiz Joined: Sep 7, 2006 Messages: 1 I had the exact same issues in Outlook 2003 and tried every fix mentioned in threads...the only thing that work for me was to go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11 and run OUTLOOK.E

I recently started to see the following error messages at Outlook start up: The extension configuration file c:\program http://www.office-forums.com/threads/error-in-outlook2003-cant-open-the-msspc-ecf-file-and-bombs-ou.1508304/ files\microsoft office\office12\addins\dumpster.ecf cannot be installed..... I get the same error message for the files msspc.ecf and outex.pcf. Then, I get the same three messages for the same three files, but outlook 2003 the file names are in caps. Finally, Outlook tells me "Cannot open mail files" and quits. Anybody seen this one? Mar 31, 2010 Flag Post #1 Share Roady [MVP] Guest Locate extend.dat and rename it to .old when Outlook is closed. This will reset your Exchange Client Extensions configuration. --- "mth@sententia"
ewsoftdes, Oct 18, 2004. ewsoftdes Guest I keep getting an error when opening outlook. It says the msspc.ecf file is unreadable then bombs out, so I can't get to tools menu to sort out addins. Appears to be the same as the outlook97 problem with schedule+ . Fairly important as I can't access my email. Any advice? ewsoftdes, Oct 18, 2004 #1 Advertisements Andreas Roeder Guest Hi, please read this article http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=164246 -- Ich habe nichts gemacht, gestern gings noch "ewsoftdes" <> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news... > I keep getting an error when opening outlook.

Andreas Roeder, Oct 18, 2004 #2 Advertisements ewsoftdes Guest Re: error in outlook2003 - can't open the msspc.ecf file and bombs Thanks for the note, but I have already gone through all the options in that article and it does not work. I can't access Outlook to go to the addins manager, there are not the same options in 2003 as 97 so this no longer valid, Any other thoughts?
