I wanted to follow up on this issue. To refresh the collective memory
banks, I've included a couple of the original posts at the bottom of
this email (this was back in early December...). In brief, Outlook
Express only operated with Administrator privileges, and wouldn't

This is narrowing it down. A limited user cannot open the address book

Well, I'm making progress. Tried all suggestions w/o success but found
the root of the issue accidentally during the process. Outlook Express 6
only works when the user has administrative rights. OE6 gives error the

I have no use for OE address book either; that's just the error that
comes up when I try to send to write an email in OE.

Pix will only accept Outlook Express as a mail handler therefore OE is

Well, I assume that if you want Thunderbird to be your default email
program, try changing that entry and see what happens. Myself, I use
Outlook and Thunderbird, but have never used Outlook Express. The other
thought is to check Microsoft Updates and or Secunia Software Inspector
