Retarded address book

[Guest]

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?

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.
