Running Outlook XP on a Windows Me system, I also suddenly got the following error when trying to check my email:
Sending and Receiving reported error 0x80040154

The previous time the computer had been powered on, I had uninstalled some of the optional components of Windows that seemed un-needed.

Searching the Microsoft Knowledge base for error 0x80040154 indicated that something the Outlook program needed was not installed or not correctly registered within the Windows operating system.

Running the Microsoft Office install in Repair mode (first time selecting find and fix errors, second time telling it to re-install the current setup) did NOT resolve this problem.

The final solution was that to re-install the Windows Address book. (Outlook uses its own Contacts list, and I had previously uninstalled Outlook Express, etc., so it had appeared this was no longer needed.)

Hopes this helps others who encounter this error message.
