Go ahead and uninstall it. There is no other choice until MS fixes the patch
for the fix they created for something that did not need fixing in the first
place.

For information about patch KB911567, see:

This article also applies to missing Address Books after updating.

My Windows XP Professional SP2 has Automatic Updates switched on. After
installing Outlook Express security update KB911567, my Address Book in
Outlook Express stops functioning. I have twice rolled the updates back
through Windows restore (in which case the Adress Book functions again).
However, if I attempt to deinstall the update from the Control Panel,
there
are quite a few other updates that will be affected.
