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.
 
You now have the DBX files? WAB files?

  • I get this error message every time I try to open Outlook Express: your server unexpectedly terminated the connection.

    I get this error message whenever I try to open Outlook Express:
    Your server suddenly put an end to the connection. The possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account: 'pop.mail.yahoo.com', server: 'smtp.mail.yahoo.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 465, secure (SSL): Yes, error number: 0x800CCC0F

    How can I solve this?

    original title: Outlook Express error

    Does OE open at all, or you get this error after opening?

    Check your mail at Yahoo.com and see which messages are still on the server that you have not received. The first online can be very large and cannot be downloaded. If you find such a message, read it and delete it online.

    In addition, you must disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

    Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email
    http://thundercloud.NET/infoave/tutorials/email-scanning/index.htm

    Note that for many AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the program and reinstall in custom Mode and uncheck e-mail scanning when the option is available.  You will probably have to do it.

  • How can I transfer my address book from aol to Outlook Express so I can download it for my new IPad?

    I have a new IPad 2 and my address/contact list is in my old Dell Inspiron 5100 running Windows XP and no one has been able to help me get the address list transferred, including Apple.

    Follow the steps described here. Must travel you import your AOL address book in Outlook.

  • 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.

  • start failing after installing Windows XP firefox 12.0: error message: "the configuration is incorrect."

    After clicking on the icon of Firefox, I get the error message "this application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect".

    I uninstalled Firefox and deleted all the Mozilla files in my user account in the Documents and Settings folder. I installed the latest version of Java. Then I installed Firefox 12.0.

    I had this same problem when I updated my Firefox 11 to a later version of Firefox 11. I hadn't saved the old version of Firefox 11, and I couldn't find on the web, so I went back to Firefox 3.6. I am currently in Firefox 3.6.28.

    I'd like suggestions on how I could get over this stumbling block.

    Details of the configuration of my system:

    Version Java 6 32

    Name of the operating system Microsoft Windows XP Professional

    Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3 Build 2600

    This problem may be caused by a corrupt installation of Visual C++ or incomplete (several versions can be installed-by-side; SxS) it lacks certain runtime components (redistributable Packages), which depends on Firefox (problem with an embedded manifest file that specifies a specific runtime version).

    You need to install the missing components (for example, Redistrbutable end 2005 ++).
