>>I have progressed a bit with Outlook and can read the text and look at attached files of all kinds. I cannot reply because it's trying to find the address book WAB.DLL - I can't find it either. Very strange. It's not on the install CD nor is it on my HD.

>This problem I remember with Outlook 2000. It's not Vista per se. It's the address book and I cannot remember exactly how I solved it. I think you can do a search for files like *.wab, which is the extension for the address book. Then open outlook and somewhere you can tell it where the address book is. I remember it was a hassle but I solved it along the lines of the above explanation. In Office 2003 or XP (I think) they changed how this worked and the address lists becomes part of the personal folder files.


Okay, I have found the glitch. FYI the WAB files (4 of them) are installed to the Common files folder. Move them to C:\Windows\system32 and all will work as it should.
