Outlook Express: "address book failed to load. OE is configured incorrectly, please reinstall.

Similar Questions

• 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?

  Fixes for OE5X often apply to the OE6 and for this reason are not being updated. Do not apply to you.

• Problems with Outlook Express (address book, mail open, etc.)

  Hi, I have a strange problem with my outlook express. The program opens ok, it synchronize the e-mail with the servers and so on. If you click on an email in the upper part of the window you can see the content below.
  Now, this is my problem, I can not doubleclick on an email to open it, I can't send an email or forward it. I can't open the address book.
  I get different messages, "it was not possible to open the address book, it cannot be installed correctly", "the message could not be opened, an error has occurred", "it was not possible to load the due address book that Outlook Express is not properly configured. Reinstall Outlook Express"and so on.
  I used this software for many years and the problem came from one day to the other. I tried to uninstall/reinstall the program from the Control Panel, I did a repair on XP installation, but it is always the same, is there anyone who has an idea (I know that Outlook Express is and old program, but it works very well for my needs).

  What about Nils

  First, try a new identity and see if that helps.

  You may have a damaged identity especially if it's the default main identity. File | Identity | Add the new identity. Create a new one and try it. If all goes well, you can import your messages and address book from the old identity and delete it.

  Note: Do not use the main word in the name of the new identity.

• I can't find my outlook express address book after you migrate successfully from the old computer. The "Address book" tab shows that local address book empty.

  I move from a Windows XP computer to a Windows 7 computer. My old computer has Outlook Express. I've migrated successfully my emails and messages archived in Thunderbird on the new computer. I also migrated the Outlook Express address book using an external hard drive, but I was not able to understand how to find the Outlook Express address book in Thunderbird. The only way that I could find the Outlook Express address book, is to go to 'tools' and 'import' and then import the Outlook Express address book. When I do this, the Outlook Express address book features, duplicate entries (because I imported twice now). When the Outlook Express address book shows, it works without problems and I can use it to send emails. But once I close the Outlook Express address book, I can't find him. Other messages, I see that the "Address book" tab in Thunderbird should open a window containing a list of available on the left side address books. But this window in my computer does not display a list of address books. There is just a blank window for the address book personal (it has no contacts inside) and there is nothing on the left side.

  in the display (alt + V) address book menu > layout > directory pane.

  Create a "stand-alone": WAB file
  http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/files/WAB.htm#wabexe

  Then open your address book by default to the Group wanted all members of the Group and select copy to Clipboard (Ctrl + A select all, Ctrl + C copy them into the Clipboard).  Then open the "autonomous" WAB file and paste the contacts in that file (you will need to press Enter each entry, but it beats tapping OK), and then copy the wab file to a floppy disk or export it as a CSV file.  Otherwise, folders and groups neither import nor export.

• 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.

• OfficeJet 4620 - webscan to chrome book fail to load the PDF file

  Hi, I have a JO 4620 configuration to print/scan/fax of my acer chromebook using the service web printerns.  I type the IP address of printers in my browser and get the printers web server integrated. Scan turned offshore so had to go to admin setting and turn it on. Now, I get the good screen and can choose pdf/jpeg image qualityetc.

  I'm trying to scan from the autofeeder printers using the PDF. I start scanning and auto printer feeds the paper, it indicates that the analysis file was sent to the computer.

  On the book of chrome, it says its scanning, then said done and click Save to save it to computer.

  There is no record button as well as the document does not load. I know that I can preview a right-click and save this way but the preview window is all gray and "Failed to load PDF document" when I spend...

  Any ideas?  Need to use ADF for multiple page docs and need to be PDF...

  Thank you Zac

  Hello zacbec,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

  At this time, regarding the Chromebook and scanning with the integrated Web server. PDF formats are problematic. Items such as the sweep. JPG works well using the integrated Web server. To my knowledge the Chromebook side and better with their support line is addressed.

  If you have access to a Windows or Mac computer, you would be able to see that the ADF and. PDF scan in SAP works without problem.

  See if the Chromebook support has made a new light: Chromebook Central help Forum.

  Kind regards
