But if you uninstall it it fixes that problem as well?

I think there is a workaround where you have to export the current address
book and then rebuild it. I can try and find it if you want, but I would
just leave the patch uninstalled until the fix comes out.

There is a known issue that messes up OE with the address book after
patch 911567. There is now a new patch to fix this for XP users, but
none yet for Win2000 users, so the best bet is to just not install that
patch until they release the patch for the Win2000 users.

See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#14 although that doesn't address the
addressbook errors specifically.

Thanks for that. It doesn't just mess up the address book. I cannot reply
to emails either.

Everything reverts to normal once I uninstall 911567. I thought MS were
no longer supporting Win2k.

No, its Win98 that's dead. They still are comitted to Win2000 for a bit
longer.
