Connector Loop

[AvatarOfTheShip]

I am using Outlook 2007 and the Outlook Connector to pick up my email, and everything has been going fine until I tried to start Outlook today. I get a message box entitled Microsoft Office Outlook Connector, and containing the following text:
To continue accessing your mail using Microsoft Outlook, you must upgrade to the latest version of Outlook Connector.
\if you choose to upgrade now, Microsoft Office Outlook wil close and restart.
(Upgrade Now) (Remind Me Later)

OK, fine, great. So I click Upgrade Now and Outlook closes, and when I start it again - same dialogue box. I tried System Restore, then using the Office disk, Repair option, then Remove, then Install, all to no avail. Anyone got any ideas on this?

Had the same problem on an XP box. This did the trick for me.

I am also using MAPI. It's still not working!

Hello Everyone. Go here: Download Confirmation
and know ye that you must apparently download Connector v.14 from the Office Update site and NOT REPEAT NOT v.12.1 from the Windows Update site. It's simple, isn't it, and not a problem at all now my medication's hitting the spot. But I'd still like to say thanks to everyone who took the time to read my post and try to help. When the time comes, you will all be spared my Wrath. Probably.

I had the same problem, so removed the connector and manually configured Hotmail. Everythn is fine now.

Yes what is that where you have a problem all day and then you just get so exasperated you turn the machine off and the next day - the problem is gone! How the hell does that happen? It's almost as infuriating as the problem you had in the first place. Now I'm getting REALLY mad...
