Titolo: Win2000 e Outlook 98

Ho un problema che non riesco a risolvere, spero che qualcuno di voi mi
possa aiutare.
Sul PC di casa, ho installato:
- MS Windows 2000 Pro Inglese;
- MS Office 97 Pro Inglese;
- MS Outlook 98 Inglese.
Quando apro Outlook 98, leggo questo messaggio:
- Aggiunta del file "DUMPSTER.ECF" mancante o non valida. Utilizzare il
comando Trova nel menů Avvio per ricercare il file, quindi copiarlo nella
cartella aggiunte di Outlook. Oppure reinstallare Outlook".
Inutile dire che le ho provate tutte, ma non cambia nulla.
Dipende da Win 2000?
Cosa devo fare per risolvere il problema?
Grazie anticipatamente.

NOTE: These procedures only apply if you have installed Outlook with the
Internet Mail Only option. To determine your installation type, on the Help
menu, click About Microsoft Outlook. In About Microsoft Outlook, you should
see "Internet Mail Only" if you have the Internet Mail Only option
installed.

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 start Outlook in Internet Mail Only (IMO) mode, you may receive the
following error message:
  The file add-in dumpster.ecf is missing or not valid please locate the
file and move it to the Outlook program folder.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the Service Release 2 (SR-2) patch updates the
Dumpster.ecf file in the %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office folder to a
version that Outlook cannot use in IMO mode.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, follow the steps in this section.
How to Cancel the Dumpster Add-In Selection in the Add-In Manager
To cancel the Dumpster add-in selection:
  1.. Start Outlook.
  2.. Click Options on the Tools menu.
  3.. On the Other tab, click Advanced Options.
  4.. In the Advanced Options dialog box, click Add-In Manager.
  5.. In the Add-in Manager dialog box, click to clear the Deleted Item
Recovery check box.
  6.. Click OK, click OK, and then click OK.
How to Rename the Dumpster.ecf File
If the Delete Item Recovery add-in is not in the Add-ins Manager dialog box,
follow these steps to rename the Dumpster.ecf file:
  1.. Click Start, point to Find, and then click Files and Folders.
  2.. In the Named box, type dumpster.ecf, and then click Find Now.
  NOTE: Click your entire hard disk, usually your drive C, in the Look In
box.
  3.. Right-click the file, and then click Rename.
  4.. Change the file name from dumspter.ecf to dumpster.old, and then press
ENTER.
  5.. Close the Find All Files box, and then restart Outlook.
How to Refresh the Extend.dat File
If you receive the error message that is described in the "Symptoms" section
of this article when you restart Outlook, refresh the Extend.dat file. The
Extebd.dat file is a binary file that caches the registry extension entries.
To refresh the Extend.dat file:
  1.. Quit all programs.
  2.. Click Start, point to Find, and then click Files and Folders.
  3.. In the Named box, type extend.dat.
  4.. In the Look In box, click your hard disk.
  5.. Click Include subfolders, and then click Find Now.
  6.. In the Name box, right-click the Extend.dat file, and then click
Rename, and then rename the file to extend.old.
  7.. On the File menu, click Close.
  8.. Restart Outlook. When you restart Outlook, a new Extend.dat file is
created.
How to Remove the Registry Entries
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that
may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot
guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor
can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
For information about how to edit the registry, view the "Changing Keys and
Values" Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) or the "Add and Delete
Information in the Registry" and "Edit Registry Data" Help topics in
Regedt32.exe. Note that you should back up the registry before you edit it.
If you are running Windows NT or Windows 2000, you should also update your
Emergency Repair Disk (ERD).
To remove the registry entries:
  1.. Quit all programs.
  2.. Click Start, and then click Run.
  3.. In the Open box, type regedit.exe, and then click OK.
  4.. Locate and click the following registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Exchange\Client\Extensions
  The add-ins are listed in the left pane under "Data" (without quotation
marks).
  5.. Click the name of the data key from the error message in the
"Symptoms" section, and then press DELETE.
  6.. Click Exit on the Registry menu.
  7.. Restart your computer, and then restart Outlook.
