Microsoft Outlook Error Code: 0x80070057

Asked By MaryWD 10 points N/A Posted on - 10/21/2011

Hello everybody!

My laptop has an internal schedule of doing a back-up file periodically. Lately, however, I've been working on a project overnight and I had to click "Postpone" a couple of times. Suddenly this error popped up. I don't know if it has something to do with my postponing the back-up a couple of times. What does it mean and what should I do? Thanks for any help.

Error:

Microsoft Outlook

An unknown error occurred, error code: 0x80070057.
