Installing outlook 98 on windows xp

[Guest]

I am trying to install Outlook 98 on Windows XP. It installs ok and downloads
e-mail ok, but when I try and send e-mail, I get an error with the windows
address book. If I try and look at the address book, I get the same error.

Thanks

Frank

Exact error messages and the mail transport are appreciated (Check
Help->About, second line for the transport.)

Ok, the simplest way that I get the error is if I click on tools->address
book, the exact error message is:

"An error occured while attempting to open the Windows Address Book"

If I try and send an e-mail, I get the same error message.

The transport is "Internet Mail Only"

Thanks
