win xp home sp2. in outlook express I try to add a sender to address book.

message says that "sender is already in the address book". but its not on

the list.

 

Im the only user of the machine. and Im administrator. I only have one

identity in outlook.

 

Why?

 

Greg

You should ask this in an OE newsgroup. You're more likely to get a good

answer.

Is MS Office and/or MS Outlook also installed?

Yes your both right I didn't think to go to outlook forum.

I do have MS office for Xp installed. but outlook is not one of the

components that I installed.

You mean Outlook Express newsgroup. Here's the link. Good luck.

Do you have this Registry key?...

 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WAB\WAB4

 

If not, STOP;

 

If so, is there a DWORD named UseOutlook (NB: no space) and is its value set

to 1 (one)?

 

If not, STOP;

 

If so, Address Book is configured to share contacts with Outlook, even if

you don't use it (can happen with the install of Office). Change the value

to 0 (zero), Address Book should be available to you and all should be well.

(If that DWORD is not present, don't create it, and don't alter any other

DWORD values.)

 

Note that any changes (additions, deletions, edits) made while sharing was

enabled will not be available (displayed) in Address Book when sharing is

disabled.
