Re: Unable to open the Address Book....

I forgot to mention that I have an older backup copy of a *.wab file and it
will open in windows explorer without any problems.

Hello Everyone,

I'm using WinXP Pro, OE 6 and I'm getting the following error message:

"Unable to open the Address Book. The Address Book may not be installed
properly."

If I try to open the Address Book the *.wab file in Explore I get the
following message then an error message:

"Address Book is currently not your default vCard viewer. Would you like
to bake it you default vCard viewer?"

I click on "No" and then get the following error message:

"The address book file appears to be corrupt and could not be opened."

It appears that the above error message started to appear after I recently
did some windows updates that was recommended on the Microsoft windows
update website.

Does anyone know the fix for the above problem?


Thanks to all who reply,

Ismael
