I hosed my address book by trying to synch it with my telephone via bluetooth.
Now, I can preview messages, but can't open or reply to them and I can't open the address book. I get various error messages "unable to open message. an error has occurred" and "unable to open address book. The address book amy not be installed properly". These was another one telling me to reinstall outlook express. I uninstalled and reinstalled through the windows add program function, but nothing changed. What do I need to do? TIA. |

Is MS Outlook (or MS Office) also installed?
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), Address Book should be available to you 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. cf. http://www.insideoe.com/files/wab.htm#share http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=191946 -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE, OE, Security, Shell/User) AumHa VSOP & Admin http://aumha.net DTS-L http://dts-l.org/ davidham wrote: I hosed my address book by trying to synch it with my telephone via bluetooth.

I solved the problem by finding the address book and deleting it. OE
recreated a blank one. I had the address backed up on hotmail and recovered with a quic synchronization Thanks for the help.
