• 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?

  It could be several specific problems, which include:
  -corrupted WAB file

  Windows XP Home Edition. Suddenly cannot open my email. I searched the *.wab file and the 'read only' box is not checked. It is said that it has been changed a few days ago. I remember deleting an address duplicate at this time. What would I do? How should I do?

• Is it possible to export the address book and map then only custom export fields are exported?

  In Outlook, I can export my contacts but before export ends I can map the fields you wish to export. For example I can export my contacts but only to export the name last name and email address.

  Is it possible to do this with Thunderbird? I can't only to export the complete address book, it contains fields I have not filled and do not want to export.

  Thank you.

  Currently, there is no function to select specific address book fields when you export a mailing list or address book to a .csv file.

  However, after you open the .csv file in Excel or OpenOffice.org Calc, it's simple to highlight more columns, right-click and select delete, and then save the file. Just tried it myself and completed the changing/deleting columns etc. in less than 10 seconds. Thus, it is not difficult and extremely fast.

  I know this isn't what you prefer, but it works very easily, is easy to learn.

• 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.

• in Outlook Express, how can I send the same message to a group important (in the address book already), but have to each recipient can only see his name (not the Group)

  In Outlook Express, how can I send the same message to the large group (already in the address book), but have to each recipient can only see his name (not the Group)?

  To use the functionality of the BCC (Blind Carbon Copy), in a new message window, click View | All headers and type the addresses separated by a; Or: Click the button to. You will see your list of contacts and the choice to put them in the To, CC, or BCC field. Click on an address, and then click BCC to add it. Repeat for all of the contacts you want. (Note: most of the providers have limits as to how many messages you can send both a. 25 is common, but it varies).

  Put your own address in the box to. That's the only name/address that any recipient will see. If you leave the field empty, some people may not receive e-mail because of message rules they put in place, or restrictions imposed by their ISP.

  You can also make an entry in the address book using your e-mail address, but put something like the mailing list in the area of the display.

  *********************

  You can also create groups if you send e-mail to the same people often.

  To create a group of contacts:

  You can create a single group name (or alias) to use when sending a message to several contacts at the same time. Just create a group name and add individual contacts to the group. Then just type the name of the group in the box for when you send mail.

  1. in the address book, select the folder in which you want to create a group. Click New in the toolbar, and then click New Group.
  2. the Properties dialog box opens. In the group name box, type the name of the group.
  3. There are several ways to add people to the Group:
  a. to add a person from your address book list, click Select members, and then click a name in the address book list.
  (b) to add a person directly to the group without adding the name to your address book, type the person's name and e-mail address at the bottom of the Properties dialog box and then click Add.
  to add a person to both the Group and your address book, click New Contact and enter the appropriate information.
  (d) to use a directory service, click Select members, and then click search. Select a directory service in the drop-down list at the end of the text box. After finding and selecting an address, it is automatically added to your address book.
  4. Repeat for each addition until your group is defined.

  Note

  a. to view a list of your groups separately from the list of address book in the address book on the view menu, make sure that folders and groups is selected.
   
  b. you can create multiple groups, and contacts can belong to several groups.

  If you want to send to a group without addresses are displayed for each recipient, open the address book and make a new entry. Enter the name of the group in the area of the display, but use your address. (Some Internet service providers require a legitimate address in the line to and recipients will know it's from the Group).

  Click on the button to. Enter the name of the group using your address. Enter the group in the BCC field.

• 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.

  Last night my operating system not found a set file and reloaded among other Outlook express things - is it possible to recover the address book, folders and emails?

  original title: Outlook Express problem

  Hi John,.

  Try to locate your data from outlook express:

  Click on start-> Run & paste-> %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities

  You will see the folders as {xxxxxx-xxxx-xxx-xx-xxxxxxxxxxxx} click-> Microsoft-> Outlook Express, you should be able to locate the DBX files, these are the outlook database files. Ideally, you should see inbox.dbx, Sent Items.dbx... check the size of the file.

  Now to get it back on outlook express, open outlook express-> click on tools-> Options-> maintenance-> the storage location.

  Click on change location, and then select the location that you have your data in.

  For the address book, see: click Start-> Run and paste the following:

  %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Address Book

  Address book with wab extension, these should reflect your Outlook Express user name.

  I hope this helps.

  copy the address book Outlook Express for Hotmail - can't get in Outlook Express.

  Lately I often can't get into my Outlook email.  I know that I can use Hotmail, but I need my address book. I know that it has to see with the Qwest no longer carring MSN.   Can you tell me how to recover or to carry it?

  Thank you, Cookie 303-371-6295 or 303-931-4632

  The address book is a file with an extension of wab file.  Search for *.wab and then you can click on it to open it.  You can then go to file | Export | Address book, then save it as a csv file.  To import into Hotmail, as in this case: www.windowslivehelp.com because it is where are the experts of Hotmail.

• Outlook Express 6: can't open the address book

  All OK when the computer was turned off last night, Outlook Express now has the message "unable to open the address book. The address book may not be installed correctly "." I can also now send messages.

  I tried to reinstall IE8 on homepage without success.

  Help please.

  One of those should look exactly like the one you use. You can use one of the others? If you can, you have to export it to the desktop and then import it into the new identity. If it looks good, remove the other walid that you just found.

  In one of the ABs you found: file | Export | Address book (wab) on the desktop. Then, open the address book in the new identity and file | Import | Address book (wab), and then tap on where it was saved.

  Reset.

• Database of blackBerry Smartphones the address book not available for synchronization

  ... "For help to resolve this problem, refer to KB19454 in the Knowledge Base of Blackberry Desktop Manager".

  I did, and it says this:

  Cause 1: the BlackBerry smartphone does not contain the PIM application you are trying to synchronize with. For example, the screenshot above error has occurred as a result of the application of tasks is not installed on the BlackBerry smartphone.

  Then, of course the BlackBerry has the address book app installed, and if it wasn't the cause.  I followed some of the sons of other related expenses and came up with nothing.

  I synced before - first time that successfully, this worked great, the second time that he kept failing, so I changed the setting to REPLACE my address book on the BlackBerry each sync, who has worked several times, and now this.

  GRRRR... of ideas?

  Worked like a champ, with the only exception to the process.  When I looked at my address book to the end, he had more than one entry for each record.  So I went back to the process, but this time, before you reconnect and resynchronize, I deleted manually additional entries - for some reason, they were still there, even though I "erased" address book information!  I'm guessing that these entries were originally a part of the problem.  Anyway, once deleted I've reconnected, resynced ' by replacing ' content of the BB for the address book - and now I have great 2-way synchronization job. "  Thank you!
