Address book does not load in OutLook Express

Operation of a limited account, Outlook Express cannot open the address book with
the following messages:
(1) the address book failed to load. Outlook Express s wrong
configured, please re-install.
(2) unable to open the address book. The address book cannot be
installed correctly.

However, if the limited account is changed to an administrator account
are no problem.

There are two accounts on the PC; HP_Administrator and User1. User1 is the
the problem account. HP_administrator has administrator privileges
and if User1 receives administrative privileges, and then I noticed that the two accounts
use the same address book. In other words, Outlook Express
"-> Addresses--> help on address book" in the two accounts show

C:\Documents and Data Data\Microsoft\Address Book\Administrator.wab

used as the address book.

This seems incorrect. I would expect Admin to be replaced by HP_Administrator
or User1 in the path above, according to the account that Outlook Express has been
Run from. It seems that the operating system is configured to use the address book above,
regardless of the account running Outlook Express. If User1 is a limited account
It is not possible to view the location of the address book due to the error that
is happening, but I suspect that Outlook Express attempts to access the address book
above and a problem arises due to try limited permissions User1 account
to access the address book in the folder of the administrator.

Windows XP with service pack 2 is the operating system and of its Outlook Express 6.

What do I do so that Outlook Express can operate successfully in the
limited account User1.

The problem has been resolved. I wrote the solution for people
who, like me, have no experience with the Windows operating system.

The sites of these links must be read. For Outlook express
http://www.insideoe.com,

more precisely

http://www.insideoe.com/files/WAB.htm.

For more information about the registry and how to change the following two sites
provide the necessary information and should be read carefully.

(1) http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/learn-how-use-windows-registry-editor-regedit-one-easy-lesson.htm

(2) http://pcsupport.about.com/od/termsr/p/registrywindows.htm
(You will find other useful links on this site)

A single note; There are different sets of keys "HKEY_CURRENT_USER", 1 set for each
account. To change a "HKEY_CuRRENT_USER" key for the user account, you must be
logged in as user.

In the registry, the key to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WAB\WAB4\Wab file name.
contains the path of the address book used by Outlook Express, for
the account that you are logged.

When logged on as a user and by examining the registry with regedit

"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WAB/WAB4\Wab file name.

the value

C:\Documents and Data Data\Microsoft\Address Book\Administrator.wab.

Given that the user is a limited account, user doesn't have the privilege to access the address book in this
location, which led to the errors listed in the original post. The solution is to
change this path. Using regedit path has changed to

C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Microsoft\Address Book\User.wab.

C:\Documents and Settings\nom being the folder root for the user account, the user has
the privilege to access the address book to the new location. Outlook express has been
then be able to access the address book.

Upon reflection, it seems to me that the above solution is just a symptom, and not the cause.
The original question, in fact, should be:

How the system is configured so that when a new account is created the new account
will use an address book to

C:\Documents and Account\Application Book\New Account.wab Data\Microsoft\Address CAB.

Instead of

C:\Documents and Data Data\Microsoft\Address Book\Administrator.wab,.

It should not be necessary to change the registry for each new account.

  • Error message: "the address book failed to load. Outlook Express is incorrectly configured, please re-install. "at the start of XP and the machine.

    After uninstalling my XPSp3 o.e., I started getting the following error message: "the address book failed to load. Outlook Express is incorrectly configured, please re-install. "at the start of XP and the machine.

    Uninstalling included 7 entries registry to remove all the * files dbx and files *.wab addressbook, except himself. After uninstalling and receipt of the error message above, I tried to use my CD of XP OS to re - install O.E. as a component of Microsoft without success.

    I upgraded to Outlook 2007 and imported to the address book of O.E. successfully before uninstalling.

    Please advise me how to get rid of the error message always appearing at startup.

    Thank you

    You can't really uninstall and reinstall OE without having to reinstall XP as OE is a part of it. I hope your foray into the registry does not require a reinstall of XP.

  • deletion does not work in outlook express 6.0

    When you just through emails, looking at them and finally to delete... I have a problem that it (delete) works for a while, and then for some reason, the icon of deletion at the top of the disposal of the OE stops working (pushing deletion does nothing).  I can then bring down OE and save. He will work for a while, and then the same problem occurs.

    Explore 8, OE 6.0

    You have damaged dbx files.
     
    Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and move the messages you want to record off deleted items, and sent items. Locate the OE message store and then close OE.
     
    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.
     
    In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.
     
    With OE closed, find the Deleted Items.dbx and Sent Items.dbx files and delete them. New files will be created automatically when you open OE.
     
    Compact all folders as described below.
     
    To avoid this in the future:
     
    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.
     
    Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095
     
    After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.
     
    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

    I had this same question posted under Outlook but was advised to post it under Windows...
    I use windows xp professional outlook express and the body of the email will not be printed.  The printer works well with other programs and the title of the print emails.  I does not matter if I try to print starting from the preview pane, or open the email and try to print from there.  All the settings are the same as they were while he was working.  We use a printer HP Officejet Pro 8500 has.  I have forwarded this email to my son who also uses xp and outlook and print with all the problems.  I made a diagnosis on the printer and it says it's in good working condition.  From now the only way to print an email is to copy in word and print it from there.  Any thoughts?

  • loss of address book and records custom in Outlook Express when merged Windows Live ID with Outlook

    Hello, I am new to Forum.  I got a Smartphone, a Windows phone, hooked through AT & T Uverse.  I merged ID them Windows Live ID with Outlook and then Outlook Express to check my email from other accounts that were active, and they were all gone, as well as my custom with saved email folders are all gone and my address book is empty - everyone passed.  Can someone help me find what I mentioned, it's gone?  Thank you.  Waiting...  Oh my desktop has Windows XP and my Smartphone is Windows 7.5.  Just thought this might be useful.

    All Outlook contacts are stored in a file with a .wab extension and mails are stored with the extension .pst.

    Filenames usually have your login window. Do a search and find where are the .wab and .pst files, and then you use these files to rstore on your Outlook Express.

  • My copied address book does not work on the new computer

    I have transferred my address book to my new computer, but when I try to send a message, it indicates the addresses are not valid. Both computers are Thunderbird and W8.1. I get emails and can respond to emails that I get, but can not write new e-mail messages. What is the trick?

    Looks like you don't have the right data into the correct fields when you import the address book.

    When you open the address book and look at one of the contacts info is the e-mail address in the e-mail address field? If this isn't the case, you must obtain the right to import or cross and change them all manually.
