Unable to find the WAB DLL

Spaniel Jasper · External Since: Feb 28, 2007 Posts: 1

I've a brand new computer running VISTA. Installed Outlook 2000 and I can
receive e-mails but cannot send any. When sending I receive the message, "An
error occurred while attempting to open the windows address book. Unable to
find the WAB DLL". I get the same error when trying to open the address book.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi
The reason why some of you don't get it to work is because OUTLOOK.EXE
process is still running, even though you closed the application. You
have to open the task manager and end the process OUTLOOK.EXE. Then
restart Outlook. Now it should work.
Best regards

The wab.dll has not been used in Outlook since Outlook 2k, which is not
compatible with Vista, though there are work arounds
