You have hit the problem of using Outlook 2000 (old unsupported software) in Internet Mail Only mode on Vista. Either change mode to Corporate or Workgroup or upgrade to a supported version such as Office/Outlook 2003 or 2007. Outlook 2000 is almost 8 years old.

After furious head scratching, Thomas asked:

| VISTA doesn't seem to like outlook 2000. I am constantly getting a
| message about not finding the WAB DLL. I have checked that the file
| wab32.dll does indeed exist. The effect it that I can receive
| e-mails but I can't do anything else, eg send, reply, add contacts,
| correct contacts, etc. Any ideas?
