Use the Help -> Detect and Repair menu in Outlook. You'll need the
installation CD for Outlook or Office. Follow with a visit to Office
Updates.

Reboot using the installation CD and do a "repair" (aka in-place upgrade).
See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;315341. Follow
with a visit to Windows Updates.

MDAC 8.1 is listing only the non-major portion of the version number. It is
version *2*.8.1. For the download, MDAC [2.]8 is at
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=6c050fe3-c795-4b7d-b037-185d0506396c.

MSDART.DLL is a dynamic-link library file. Basically it is a file
containing code that defines a bunch of functions (sometimes also called
methods). The "link" into the file is the entry point by that name; i.e.,
the link in the DLL points at the start of the function by that name. That
way, a program can call a function to execute from within the DLL file.
This lets many programs share the same code because they all call the
function from the same file. So MSDART.DLL couldn't be found, it is
corrupted, or it is an old version that doesn't contain the new function
GETIUMS that got added in a later version.
