I'm trying to help my daughter out .... here's the background:

Vista, Office 2000.
Before today, the company has been using a third party email client.

In the process of attempting to follow instructions for setting up OE as
their email client, she attempted to set up Outlook not realizing the
difference (she now realizes she needed Windows Mail, not OE).

The problem: Outlook is now throwing "Unable to update public free /
busy data. An error occurred while attempting to open the Windows
Address Book. Unable to find the WAB DLL." errors. She closes the pop-up
and continues working; but is unable to "turn off" whatever has been
turned on in Outlook.

She has deleted the email account under Tools | Mail Accounts.

What does she need to do to put Outlook back to sleep?

Thanks in advance!

Insert the office 2000 cd, modify installation, set outlook to not run from
PC

She should uninstall Outlook.

Thank you Brian and DL for your prompt replies! We were not able to
work out our schedules to attempt this this afternoon, so I don't know
if we will run into other questions or not ... but both suggestions seem
straightforward.

Actually, both suggestions are really the same thing. DL described
uninstalling Outlook in more detail. You can also do it from Control Panel.

My daughter was able to run through Control Panel and uninstall Outlook
this morning.
Thanks Again!

From my daughter:

Thanks Dad! Outlook appears to have given up whatever fight it was
fighting. A very big thank you to Mr. Tillman and Mr. DL. Thanks a
bunch!
