Can anyone help me with this mystery. My OE address book has been bulging with additions from my formerly archived address books, thus I have replicated entries, and its getting so large I cannot easily edit them out because recently I added more information to many contacts' cards.

My computer is an HP, XP Pro SR2, and I use OneCare, now. I have removed IE7 due to problems at URLs, for now. Also, I've removed all of my programs automatic update features, because when I had Zone Alarm HP and WMP was daily trying to access the Internet, and I wanted that stopped for more security; thus I also removed another large .PDF reader (bulky, large), and anything I know I can shed to protect my computer. The only problem is that it takes a software maintence guru to be able to find that file in WMP11. Its a horrible program for the majority of users, and its malware, at best. But, I could not find the "update" file, so its been removed totally, for now.

Thank you so much.

apologies...I think this is the wrong NG for posting this.

Right. If you haven't found the right groups yet, try posting in this
newsgroup:

If this group isn't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).
