Outlook Express: "There was an error opening this message"

[Robert S]

When I double click on a message in the preview pane in OE I get: "There was an error opening this message. An Error has occurred". I get the same message if I try to compose a message.

This occurs in all user accounts.

If I try to open the Address Book within OE I get "Unable to open the address book. The Address Book may not be installed properly".

If its of any help this started after I uninstalled Office 2000 and installed Office 2003. The address book is in the correct location according to HKEYCU/Software/Microsoft/WAB/WAB4/Wab file name.

Can anybody help?

Might be a good idea to post your question in an OE newsgroup. Remember to
state your OE version!
