Solution to Google Calendar Sync Problem

After a little searching on the Internet, it appears that the cause of the problem lies in Outlook’s protection measures. Somehow it thought that Google Calendar Sync is broken, and so disabled it to prevent it from killing Outlook. Yes, it did save Outlook and all your calendar items, but syncing now doesn’t work.

So here’s how you re-enable it. In Outlook 2007, go to Help > Disabled Items… then select the Google Calendar Sync add-in to enable. Simple.

    Bonjour,
    Pour les versions antérieurs à 2007 d’Outlook, la fonction disable items de l’aide est accessible dans l’item “A propos de Microsoft Office Outlook et le bouton en bas à gauche “éléments désactivés …” ou “Disable items …”
    Encore merci à Edmund Tse pour son aide.
    Cordialement,

    Great! It was exactly my problem! (The Google Sync dll wouldn’t load ever). Now it seem to be working again ;-) Thanks
