Default Address Book error with Vista

I'm installing Office 2000 (can't afford the new version) on a laptop with
Vista. However when I open Outlook I get an error message that says it can't
find wab.dll for the address book. I've tried reinstalling Outlook but still
get same message. Anyone any ideas?
Thanks
Tony

ought to know about?

As you can see in the article, you can switch to Corp/Workgroup mode of
Outlook 2000 and probably make that work.
