An internal error has occured in module mapi32.dll.

Default mail account has damaged table of contents. It is reccomended to reconfigure your accounts records. Without this, you will not be able to recieve or send mail. Failure to do so may make MAP132 applications such as outlook to fail.

What do I do? I have no clue on things such as SMTP server, or POP3, or anything like that.

I was looking for an answer to this too - for my sister - I told her where to look for info:  
Go into your email program to find SMTP and POP3 info (look under tools, accounts)

BUT she says nothing seemed to work. My concern is about where the message is generated, if it is an indication of a virus or what. Anyone know?  
😕

Sounds like it’s the [Swen virus.](http://home.dmcom.net/Users/Virus/swen.asp) Removal tool link at bottom of that page.

Thanks for your help - I had a feeling it was something like this!
