Outlook Express Frustration
I can no longer open my Address Book in Outlook Express!
I get messages: " Unable to open the address book" "The Address Book may not be installed properly". Since this "Frustration" I have downloaded to my hard drive Eplorer 6 with Outlook Express - no luck. I have also opened Outlook Express and clicked on Tools/Options/General Tab and clicked on "Make Default". This, too, to no avail. Further, from the RunLine, I have clicked on Start/Settings/Control Panel/Double-Clicked the Internet Options Icon/Programs Tab and under Inter Net Programs and selected Outlook Express/Apply/OK. All this to no avail. Alss, I have: Start/Run and typed in "drive:\program files/outlook express\msimn.exe"/reg - I then get a message that this does not exist. I have also shut down my computer and restarted to insure all these settings take effect. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks in advance, -- texas_nt_rancher2002 |

Since Outlook Express seems to be a favored target of virus attacks, I wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole. Maybe I got conditioned in WWII when my ten-year old version was evacuated from London; not being in the target area greatly reduces your chances of being hit. |

Apples & oranges: Are you using the version of Netscape that was released in 1998 and never updated? I don't think so. OE6-SP1, fully updated, is light-years ahead of OE5.0 (which installs with Win98SE) when it comes to security, Anthony, and just as secure IMO as the most recent version of Netscape mail. -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE/OE) |
