This article was previously published under Q170655 SYMPTOMS
When you use the AutoDialer to make a call to a Microsoft Outlook 97
Contact, you may receive the following error message:
Outlook caused a stack fault in module KERNEL32.DLL at 0137:bff72408
CAUSE
This error message may occur when you hang up before completing the call,
and then try to make another call before the Call Status dialog box is
closed.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Outlook 97.
We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
MORE INFORMATION
When you click Hang Up in the Call Status dialog box, it may take a while
for the dialog to be closed, especially with a slow modem. If you attempt
to dial another contact while the Call Status dialog is still open, you
receive the error message described in the "Symptoms" section of this
article.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, wait until the Call Status dialog is closed
before initiating another call.
On some modems, selecting the FIFO buffers option will increase the
response speed of the modem, and reduce the likelihood of the error. To
select the FIFO buffers, choose the appropriate method from the following.
In Windows 95

- Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
