I solved the problem by finding the address book and deleting it. OE
recreated a blank one.

I had the address backed up on hotmail and recovered with a quic
synchronization

Thanks for the help.

I hosed my address book by trying to synch it with my telephone via bluetooth.

Now, I can preview messages, but can't open or reply to them and I can't
open the address book.

I get various error messages "unable to open message. an error has
occurred" and "unable to open address book. The address book amy not be
installed properly". These was another one telling me to reinstall outlook
express.

I uninstalled and reinstalled through the windows add program function, but
nothing changed. What do I need to do?

TIA.
