Here is a fix for one specific issue with Outlook 2000:
Symptoms
After installing iTunes 10 on a Windows PC with Microsoft Outlook 2000 installed, Microsoft Outlook 2000 will not open.
Products Affected
iTunes 10 for Windows, Microsoft Outlook 2000
Resolution
iTunes will sync with Microsoft Outlook 2003, Microsoft Outlook 2007, or Microsoft Outlook 2010. If you use Microsoft Outlook 2000, you can resolve this issue by renaming the "OutlookChangeNotifierAddIn.dll" file. This file can be renamed however you choose, and is found in the following default location depending on your operating system:
Windows XP, Windows Vista (32-bit) or Windows 7 (32-bit):
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\OutlookChangeNotifierAddIn.dll
Windows Vista (64-bit) or Windows 7 (64-bit):
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\OutlookChangeNotifierAddIn.dll
If you install Microsoft Outlook 2003, Microsoft Outlook 2007, or Microsoft Outlook 2010 after renaming this file, you may need to reinstall iTunes 10 before being able to sync Contacts, Calendars, email account information, or Notes.
