Address Book

It looks like my address book under Accessories is corrupt. It cannot find it. I have tried reloading accessories from Add/Delete programs windows programs to no avail. I then deleted the accessories using the same program and tried reloading it.
 
I had it at one time and while in it doing some updates it crashed and I have not been able to get it back since.
 
I have an Inspiron E1505 notebook running XP Pro with SP2.
 
Any ideas on how to get it back?
 
Thanks.

Thank you for posting your message at the Dell Community Forums.

You are referring to the Address Book in Outlook Express correct?

If so, try the following fix I found online:

Address Book is missing: Click Start, and then click Search. Click All files and folders .
In the What do you want to search for box, click All files and folders. In the All or part of the file name type, *.wab , and then click Search.

When the search is finished, double-click each file to open it. When you have found the correct one (it will contain your Contact information), note the exact location and name of the file. In Outlook Express, click the File menu. Click Import, and then click Address Book. Point the Look In field to the location that you noted in the above step. Click the .wab file, and then click Open. Click OK to import the Address Book.
