Outlook error sending PM

I've searched - can't find answer.

I'm trying to send a private message to a new member of my forum (cnewspubsopinion.forumotion.com) and get an error message.

"Microsoft Office Outlook
The extension configuration file C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Addins\fldpub.ecf could not be installed. There is an error in the syntax or format of the file."

I didn't know that the PMs go through Office Outlook. Is there a way to change that? Or how do I work around it??

HELP!!

I don't know why that appears when sending a pm, not even sure if that is actually connected. But anyway, I found a possible solution through a quick google search that probably helps:

You did an upgrade from Outlook 2000? It's from an old Outlook 2000 feature
called netfolders. Remove it through Tools-> Options-> tab other-> button
Advanced Options-> buttom COM Add-Ins/Add-In Manager
