129622 2003-03-20 06:49:00 Hi There

My OS is Win XP Home Edn. I use MS office 97.
Recently I found my daughter using Incredimal in my computer. I asked her as I foudn something was not right as it preceded th OExpress whenever I logged into the web.

It was deleted. Now the problem is that my Address Book is empty!
There is nothing in the book to see or search or correct. It is purely actionless or motionless!

What happened. What do I do. Could someone please tell.

These are the address books for OE and OL

wab files are associated with Outlook Express and pab files are associated with Outlook

If using profiles in either OE or OL, check that another profile has not been created and that is set as the default.

May be this is going to escalate a bit further and going to take more time from you. How/Where do I go to check the Profiles and see the OE file wab has been overridden by pab or any another file.

Thanks.

Use the Windows Help for further instructions.

129626 2003-03-22 01:27:00 Open up OE and go file-switch identities and see if you have more than just the installed "main identity" If you have, click on main identity and see if your address book reappears. Pheonix (280)
