This article was previously published under Q189108 IMPORTANT: This article contains information about editing the registry.
Before you edit the registry, make sure you understand how to restore it if
a problem occurs. For information about how to do this, view the "Restoring
the Registry" Help topic in Regedit.exe or the "Restoring a
Registry Key" Help topic in Regedt32.exe.
SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to start Microsoft Outlook 98 using the Outlook icon
on the Windows desktop after you upgrade to Microsoft Windows 98, a
configuration dialog box for Microsoft Networking Online Service (MSN)
may appear instead.
CAUSE
Windows 98 Setup tries to detect the existence of MSN, and if found,
associates an update utility with the Inbox or Outlook icon. When you
double-click the icon, the MSN update utility starts, providing you with
the ability to migrate to the new version of MSN prior to starting Outlook.
Under certain conditions, Setup performs the association even if you are
not a member of MSN.
RESOLUTION
Choose one of the following methods:
- Run Chginbx.exe on your Windows 98 compact disc.
- Delete the Outlook icon and create a shortcut.
- Edit your Registry to remove the incorrect entry.
