OE address book - Error in Importer DLL?

[Czuba]

I am using Windows XP and attempting to use Outlook Express 6. I am
trying, without much success, to import my Netscape 7.1 address book
into OE6. I saved my Netscape address book as an LDIF file, opened OE6,
clicked on "import-other address book-LDIF" and selected my saved
Netscape address book to import. I receive the message "application
error in importer DLL C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\wabimp.dll", and
nothing is imported. What am I doing wrong, or do I need to reinstall
OE6? How would I reinstall OE6 if I have to? Thank you. K.C.

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). The links under the newsgroup
references are for use with MS's web newsreader (not exactly the best way to
post but it works for some people)

Also a good source of Outlook Express info can be found here:
