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.

I've given up with Outlook and I'm now successfully using windows mail.
Thanks

Did you ever find an answer to your question? I'm having the same problem.

No I didn't. Sorry. I believe that Outlook 2007 is compatible with VISTA.

where does one get that? I hate M$ but need outlook for my new
smartphone.

Chaps. Had to think about this for a few mins but then something came to
mind that I remember has got me out of a lot of vista issues with
programs,

To fix this issue go to

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office

And find the

OUTLOOK application

Right click and go to properties, then compatibility, then under
compatibility mode tick the box that says "Run this program in
compatibility mode for:" and choose Windows XP SP2 in the drop down.

Try outlook and it will ask you the same questions again but after
closing it and re-opening it again it has worked for me. I can now log
onto it with out getting that start-up message and also send e-mails
without a WAB.DLL error!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the post, on fixing the wab dll error. That worked for me.
However I am prompted, every time I launch outlook, do I want to use
outlook as my default mail manager. I would welcome you thoughts on
that one.

Click "YES"; you do want it to be the default.
If it is your main email progam, with the email address that your ISP gave
you; yes.

On vista:
To fix this issue go to

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office

And find the

OUTLOOK application

Then right click on it and select "Run as Administrator"

Once I did this life was good. Good luck!

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
