Unable to export address book

1. A recent update for OE/Address Book (911567) has been causing problems
for many, but certainly not all users. You may be one of them.
Uninstall "Security Update for Windows XP (KB911567)" via Add/Remove
Programs, reboot & see if the issue persists. If not...
2. 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) 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.

That worked!!! Thank you very much. I did not have the update you
mentioned (unable to identify in add/remove programs). In any case I have
turned off "automatic updates."
Something happened which resulted in this value being changed as well as
removing one of my e-mail folders.
