I have installed Office 2000 on my new laptop - Windows Vista. I keep
getting the error from Outlook that it cannot find the WAB.DLL file. It is
becoming quite annoying to have this message keep popping up on my screen.
Can I get it somewhere?

Vista doesn't have the Windows Address Book. It uses it's own Contacts. If
you want to have a shot at using Outlook 2000 on Vista (and it's not
compatible or supported), it MAY work if you install it in Corporate/Workgroup
mode so that it doesn't try to use the Windows Address Book service.
