    OMG, I have been living with that for over a year!   When this started our IT person didn’t know what was causing it, let alone how to fix it.  So, I just lived with it.  Today, I finally was so feed-up I went looking and happened to find your site.  I can’t even believe  that it is gone.   Thank you very, very much!

    You are very kind, i must be so gratifull because with all that information you have gived, that help me in that problem. May be, that wasnt a problem, but isnt an usefull situation. May be there are not to much people that knows how to save that. Let me tell you something and if you can, you could tell me… i began to use a new windows 7, because my mistake, i used a memeo sync, and as it wasnt for a win 7, i cuoldnt use it, and began wiht that error on outlook, i used revouninstaller to take that program of, and did it, but appear that problem in outlook. Thanks about you told, that didnt appear more, but i must do a question… that could generate a problem in future because i must turned off an usefull work on outlook?? Sorry because my english is not my native language. Thanks for you answer. if you want, writte to my email:

    THANK YOU. Dell Tech couldn’t figure this out. His best guess is that it was caused by my firewall.

  78. Mark says:

    It’s the simple things in life that make me happy – and getting rid of my teamscopesupport.dll error when opening Outlook is just an example of the simplest fix, resolving an annoying error. Indeed my problem revolved around “redemption helper” as well – so your solution worked perfectly. – Many Thanks!

  79. John says:

    Great advice, thanks!

    Excellent!!! Thank you very much

  82. Dana Labrie says:

    Thank goodness – that was the most annoying problem I had this week ahead of having a flat tire due to my cars’ metal nitrous tire pressure valve cap eroding the valve stem (ok that will be my other Tweet Peeve for the month)! Had the same message as you that I needed an update from ACT for my redemption.dll since it was amuck. ACT had no updates – but I bet I could find one if I paid for their “warrenty and help” which is probably hundreds of dollars for the estimated one question answered per year… and a double wammy I could not uninstall mscoree.dll since Vista is so rigid and as it said I didn’t have admin rights (of Bill Gates??) to delete the file. Thank you – !

  83. Dhaval says:

    Yes, absolutely a Memeo thing. My antivirus raised an alarm one day about this file and I quarantined or deleted it. Since then this issue has come up.

    Now solved after your solution but the question is can we reinstate that Memeo file? May be it is useful for backing up the OST file.

    • Dhaval, I am happy that your issue was fixed. I haven’t seen any use of this Memeo file. It has been over 2 years when I deleted this file and never faced any issue.
      All other readers too didn’t report any issue so far. So I assume it is fairly safe to be without this file. Also looks like the website itself is down where a forum was maintained for this plug-in. So I am not sure if there is any further development happening on this.
      You got the idea right…
      Thanks

  84. Bob says:

    Thanks so much for helping me with this annoying message. I too had installed the crappy memeo software and hated it. This was very helpful!!

    Thanks!!
    I searched my computer for where the file said it was located (and it wasn’t) your suggested fixed it, no problems.

  94. joey says:

    It has been bothering me for weeks, and now it is off my back. Many thanks………..

    • Wow!!! That’s awesome. But I wonder how come this issue hasn’t been fixed in Outlook 2007 yet. I originally wrote this article in Dec 2007, so it is almost 2 years now. And people are still facing this issue.
      That’s really something not good on part of the concerned teams at Microsoft, Dell or whatever. This issue should have been long gone…
      No wonder people are just stuck with Windows willy-nilly otherwise they would have moved to Linux long back if Windows wasn’t their default OS environment.

      Anyway, I am happy that people are still finding it useful.

  95. Jim says:

    Worked for me! Thanks!

  96. Craig says:

  97. Anurag Bansal says:

    I guess, this is an ugly add-on required for MediaDirect to pull your Outlook data or something like that.
    But because of some updates, it becomes useless and keeps interfering with Outlook to run smoothly.
    I uninstalled it long back and haven’t faced any issue with my system so far and I think other readers have also mentioned the same.
    So I will say, it is fairly safe to remove it.

    Hope this information helps.
    Cheers

    Thanks for the update businessaffairsguru. That will definitely help the readers.

  123. BusinessAffairsGuru says:

    One problem with deselecting all instances of the “Redemption helper add-in” is that it is a hook that is used by a lot of legitimate Outlook extensions and add-ins to perform their tasks. If you uncheck them, some additional feature you installed (or some other program you like installed) into Outlook will be gone.
