    I am getting the following error when I try to open Outlook:

    Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Mapi32.dll is corrupt or the wrong version. This could have been caused by installing other messaging software. Please reinstall Outlook.

    I am getting this error when I try to open Word or Excel:

    Fatal error during installation

    All of this happened after using a program called Application Mover to move Office from the C drive to the D drive. I used it to move about 15 programs and it works great. Maybe Office is a little to big and deeply rooted of a program for it to handle.

    My main concerns is to not lose my emails and all that in Outlook.

    I already searched the internet and tried the renaming mapi32.dll to mapi32.old, fixmapi.exe, take outlook.exe out of compatibility mode and the Microsoft knoledge base suggestions. None have fixed it.

    Anyone have any ideas of what to do next?
