The problem usually occurs after you have upgraded to Outlook 2013 from a previous version.

To fix this problem, we will have to make changes in the registry. You can attack this one of two ways. Using the registry import file, or making the change yourself manually.

Method 1: Import File

Use these steps if you’re a novice and not too familiar with working in the Registry Editor.

1. Close Microsoft Outlook.
2. Download the OutlookFix file.
3. Open the OutlookFix.zip file by double-clicking on it.
4. Open the OutlookFix.reg file by double-clicking on it.
5. If prompted by UAC for permission to make changes to the computer, select “Yes“.
6. A Registry Editor dialog box will appear asking “Are you sure you want to continue?”. Select “Yes“.
7. A message should appear telling you that the Registry was modified successfully.
8. Open Microsoft Outlook and select “Personal Folders” or use any other method to access the “Outlook Today” screen. The error message should no longer appear.

Method 2: Manually Editing the Registry

If you know what you’re doing when it comes to the Windows Registry, use the following method.

1. Close Microsoft Outlook.
2. Hold the Windows Key then press “R“.
3. Type “regedit” then select “OK“.
4. Navigate to the following location:
   • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
   • Typelib
   • {0006F062-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
5. Expand {0006F062-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} via the plus sign, then right-click the “1.0” folder, then select “Delete”
   
   
6. Select “Yes” since you do want to permanently delete the value.
7. Close the Reigstry Editor.
8. Open Microsoft Outlook and select “Personal Folders” or use any other method to access the “Outlook Today” screen. The error message should no longer appear.
