Beginner How to

Outlook 2000 in Internet Only mode errors on Vista because the WAB (Windows Address Book) it uses for it's address book is missing.

You can try copying the WAB.dll to Vista and register it. This will fix one error but you may have other issues.

Browse to C:\Program Files\Common Files\System and  copy wab32.dll and wab32res.dll to C:\Windows\System32

Register the DLL's by entering the following commands at the run prompt:

regsvr32 wab32.dll
regsvr32 wab32res.dll

We highly recommend not doing this unless there is some compelling reason you need Outlook 2000 installed on Vista. Vista's Mail and Calendar programs are a viable replacements for Outlook 2000.

If you want Word's spell check, the upcoming Windows Live Desktop Mail client (in beta as of June 2007, will be replacing Outlook Express and Vista's Mail) will provide "spell check as you type".

Mail or Live Desktop Mail do not support Archiving but you can use rules to move messages based on conditions or drag them to another folder to archive. There may be 3rd party Archiving tools you can use to archive email.
