After installing exchange 5.0 client on W98 machine, I try to create a new message and I get error : Can't find PSTPRX.DLL service. I tried reinstall but it didn't work. Any ideas?

I found this on Microsoft's Technet Knowledgebase.
You may get the following error:
Unable to open your default e-mail folders. An unexpected error has occurred.MAPI was unable to load the information service PSTPRX.dll. Be sure the
service is correctly installed and configured.
CAUSE
=====
If the installed version of Outlook conflicts with the MailSupport registry key
value, the error message will be generated.

ORIf you attempt to start the Fax program you get the following error message:

You have installed Awfax.exe from the Windows 98 compact disc, which installed
older versions of MAPI and its associated .dll files.

Reinstall Outlook 98.
