by DanB

When you run Outlook 2000 on Windows Vista you receive the error:

” ERROR OPENING WINDOWS ADDRESS BOOK. UNABLE TO FIND WAB.DLL”

Scott’s Blog has the answer:

Use Explorer to navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\System
Copy wab32.dll and wab32res.dll to C:\Windows\System32

I had to open Explorer in Administrator mode to copy the DLL’s. How do you do that? Hold Ctrl-Shift while clicking in Explorer or the Drive letter you are opening.

If that doesn’t get Outlook 2000 running on your system visite Scott’s blog at the link above for more details.
