Error Message

Unable to Open MS Outlook : (Server execution failed, ProgID: “Outlook.Application”)

Severity

Low. User is able to continue working in the software.

Explanation of Error

User Account Control (UAC) is blocking the software from trying to use MS Outlook.

Resolution #1

  1. Run Outlook as an Administrator (You must shift-right-click on the shortcut and choose to Run As Administrator. Just running it as the administrator won't work.)
  2. Click on File | Options
  3. Choose Trust Center. This will open a new window.
  4. Choose Programmatic Access.
  5. Change the setting to “Never Warn me …” . If the options are disabled, then you aren't running it in Administrator mode.
  6. Save.

Resolution #2

- Go to Start \ Control Panel \ User Accounts and Family Safety\User Accounts

- Click on Change User Account Control (UAC) settings.

- Move the slider bar all the way to the bottom (Never notify).

- Click OK. You will be prompted to re-boot the PC and you will need to do so in order for the change to UAC to take effect.

- Run Cyrious as an administrator.

Resolution #3

- If these resolutions do not resolve the issue, re-installing MS Outlook is suggested.
