Is MS Outlook (or MS Office) also installed?
Do you have this Registry key?...
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
\Software
\Microsoft
\WAB
\WAB4
If not, STOP; If so, is there a DWORD named UseOutlook (NB: no space) and is
its value set to 1 (one)?
If not, STOP; If so, Address Book is configured to share contacts with
Outlook, even if you don't use it (can happen with the install of Office).
Change the value to 0 (zero), Address Book should be available to you and
all should be well. (If that DWORD is not present, don't create it, and
don't alter any other DWORD values.)
Note that any changes (additions, deletions, edits) made while sharing was
enabled will not be available (displayed) in Address Book when sharing is
disabled.

Is there anyway to remove the warnings that pop up when I click on any
message or the address book. Both messages inform me that the address book
is corrupted and that despite that condition, it has been restored?
It is so annoying...lol.
Any help would be appreciated.
