Can receive email but cannot compose or open an address book. Uninstalled and reinstalled still same problem. Microsoft says OE will automatically open a new WAB when install if no WAB out there...not. Any ideas?

I'm no expert on OE,but have used it a lot. If you are getting .WAB errors,try this:
Go to Find and locate WAB32.dll/right click on it/rename it to WAB32.old/reinstall OE.
[SEE "PS:" below]
This way the program won't use your old[corrupted] WAB file,but as Microsoft says,will make a new one.
I did this with my folders and it worked perfectly.

PS: I'm not absolutely sure,but you may just have to RE-OPEN OE [after the rename]to create a new WAB file...worth a try.
Good Luck
