locked address book

[Guest]

my address book inexplicably now contains no entries. when i try to open up back up copy or import back up copy i am unable to do so. i am getting a message that says something like " address book is locked by another application. you must close the other application." i have no idea which application this would be as nothing else is running. any ideas?

Presuming you're using Outlook Express and the Windows Address book...

You will probably get a faster and more expert answer if you post this to an
Outlook Express news group.

Try posting in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.outlookexpress.mac for OE for Macintosh

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

A good website for information on OE is:
