By default Outlook blocks potentially dangerous facilities, such as *. crt Security Certificates or *. exe program files. Outlook itself does not an option, single file types of safety level 1 not to block. You can, however, in the Registry following venue, so CRT certificate files. Proceed as follows:

1. Registydatei opening the 'Start-> Run-> Regedit'
2. Create the following entry: 
   Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER 
   Subschlüssel for Outlook 2000 SP3 and later Software \ Microsoft \ Office \ 9.0 \ Outlook \ Security \ 
   Subschlüssel for Outlook 2002: Software \ Microsoft \ Office \ 10.0 \ Outlook \ Security \ 
   Subschlüssel for Outlook 2003: Software \ Microsoft \ Office \ 11.0 \ Outlook \ Security \ 
   Value Name: Level1Remove 
   Value: REG_SZ 
   Value: CRT (Mehrer file extension separated by a semicolon)
3. Reboot the computer so that Outlook over these changes.

Download the registry patches without guarantee: Outlook 2000 SP3; Outlook 2002, Outlook 2003

NOTE Outlook blocks executable files of the security level 1, so the spread of fours and worms more difficult. From this registry entry is no danger, if you only CRT certificate files from people you know open and install.

The modules of abylonsoft work with the simple MAPI (MAPI = Mail Applications Programming Interface) as the interface between the application and email program. Under certain circumstances, when you direct sending a file (eg *. SME) with your email program to an error. There are three reasons for the occurrence of this error:

1. They have no MAPI-compliant e-mail programme
2. Your e-mail program is not as the default mail program logged in!
3. Your MAPI (mapi32.dll) was established by the installation of a browser or damaged by an earlier version replaces

MAPI-compliant email programs: Netscape, Outlook, Outlook Express, AOL (from version 7.0), Eudora, Pegasus Mail, Lotus Notes (version 4.5?) And others!

Necessary adjustment:

• Outlook or Outlook Express: 
  Select Internet Explorer on the Tools menu item 'Internet Options' (or' Properties') and select the tab 'programmes'. You must enter your desired e-mail programme under 'Email' area and the 'OK' button. Alternatively, you can do this in the 'Control Panel' under 'Internet Options'.
• Netscape: 
  Select 'Edit' menu 'Preferences'. The point 'Mail & Discussion forums' or' Mail & Newsgroups' select the item 'Netscape Messenger for MAPI-based applications' or' There MAPI-based applications use Netscape Messenger. 
  The names and the location of the settings can from version to version! (Help)
• AOL: 
  AOL supported until version 7.0 Simple MAPI. In order to activate, select the 'key word and enter into the field' preferences'. Then under links for Web, e-mail and newsgroups' America Online 'selected.
• Eudora: 
  In Eudora, you must use the standard MAPI client by selecting Tools-> Options-> MAPI the point 'Eudora as the MAPI server' by selecting the option 'Always'. Then, in Eudora Internet Explorer as the default mail program selected (see above Outlook) 
  The names and the location of the settings can from version to version! (Help)
• Notes: 
  Lotus Notes seems a difficult matter. So far, we do not have any precise information. Similarly, information on the MAPI support for the different versions is very vague. First, but in Internet Explorer (such as Outlook) to see if there Notes as the default mail program is set (Tools-> Internet Options-> Programs-> e-mail). If it does not help, it must be the 'Notes MAPI Service Provider' to be installed. In the help you will find the exact instructions. 
  In a Lotus Notes Forum, I have read, the easiest way to the MAPI interface to set up, is: 1.Notes uninstall 2nd Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Office install 3rd Notes install! ;-))

Repair of damaged or old MAPI32.dll: 
In a notice from Microsoft describes that by executing the file 'fixmapi.exe' in the Windows system folder (such as c: \ Windows \ System32 \) the problems can be solved. Emergency this file in Explorer. Unfortunately we have no experience how this works, and which versions of Windows this file is available.
