Re: "The Add-In "Fax Extension" cannot be loaded"

I had the same problem and this is how I got rid of it.

Under Tools, choose Trust Center.
On the left pane pick Add-ins.
From the bottom of the page under Manage drop down pick Client File
Extensions and press Go...
Unckeck the FaxExtensions and click OK
Done!

Do you know how I can remove the add-in per se?

You can always try deleting this key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Exchange\Client\Extensions
faxextension.dll
but it doesn't seem to work as consistently.

I changed the name of "extend.dat" to "extendold3.dab", rebooted, tried to
reply to an email and got the same error.

Yes, that is the path. When I got into that folder, I saw the two
previous
"re-names" of extend.dat which were "extendold.dat" and
"extendold2.dat".
I
created "extendold3.dat" and upon the first try to reply to an email
there
was no error. After a reboot, when I tried to reply to an email, the
same
error recurred.

What path did you use to extend.dat?
Should be something like this:
<drive>:\Users\%UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook

Russ,
I am sorry to report that the same error message has recurred. This
happens
when I try to reply to an email in Outlook. Any suggestions?

You were right again! Its bad when you don't know what you don't
know.
I found the file, renamed it and the error message is gone.
Thank
you
very
much.

Keep trying. It's there. You most likely need to get up to speed
