ACT PRO no longer sees Outlook

[KitchenACT]

Outlook and ACT were working fantastic until today.

I suspect an new update to Avast anti-virus this morning has something to do with it. 

I have Sage ACT! Pro 2013 Version 15.1.108.0

When I click an email address within ACT to send email it comes up with a message the email system has not been set up. Then it prompts me to repair. After the repair procedure, it then prompts me to re-start ACT. 

But even after a re-start and re-boot the same as above.

Any suggestions?

Never mind, figured it out myself...

But for those who'd like to know the new version of Avast virus checker puts the rcActout.dll file in Maintenance/Virus Check area. You need to right click on it and 'restore'. Shut down ACT and re-start. It takes care of business.

One question for you. You said when you click an email it prompts you to repair. Is that an ACT! or Outlook message? And what did it say needed to be repaired? Thanks.

It was an ACT message. I dont recall the entire message but once I clicked repair an DOS type prompt exe file opened up and when done the ACT email set up wizard opened up. However, it only gave me the internet email account set up. No Outlook option.
