Hello KT
I thought the update dated April 26 for KB911567 covered this problem with
the address book.
Or was that to correct another problem caused by the one dated
11 April.

Hi Antioch,

The only change I heard about was a warning not to uninstall the update, but
others may know more and be able to definitively answer your question.

I have completely lost the 'plot' in the last three to four weeks - and it
appears I am not alone then. So which update to not uninstall is it?
It would be nice if one of the really switched-on guys gave us 'hams' some
sort of definitive report re those last load of crxp downloads/upgrades.
But some are even scratching their heads.

Greetings,
I've never installed 911567, I've never got far enough to get any updates.
It is not listed in my progarm install or remove. I have backed up my Express
folders and removed most of the messages (during the many times Outlook tried
to update it had duplicated all my stored emails till I had over 10,000, now
under a 1,000) and I am getting a new error message that says I don't have
enough memory, I've 512 megs of memory. Where do I go from here? Being that I
have SP2 do I remove that per 318378 & 875350? I am getting real gun shy of
Outlook Express. Is there a CD that can be gotten from MS that has the latest
vesion on IE & OE?

If that does not do the trick, then post with the "complete and exact" text
of any error messages you may be receving. Portions of error messages that
are not complete and exact are not really helpful.

Hard to tell with the limited info provided. Guessing often leads to the
wrong choice.
