Unable to find the WAB DLL

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.

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

Re: Unable to find the WAB DLL

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!!!!!!!!

Re: Unable to find the WAB DLL

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!

Re: Unable to find the WAB DLL

You folks ROCK! This fixed my WAB DLL problem. Many thanks!

Just one other thing everytime a launch Outlook 2000 in Vista, I get
the Outlook 2000 startup wizard. I click Next and Next, the wizard goes
away and Outlook opens and operates properly.

Any ideas how to fix?

Many thanks again.

Try to rename any wab32.dll's that you find and reinstall Outlook.
