Cause

This issue may occur if you use Microsoft Lync 2010, and Lync doesn't shut down correctly. Lync 2010 and Outlook 2010 share components and share memory blocks. If Lync does not shut down correctly, this error may occur if Outlook tries to use the shared components the next time that the computer starts.
