Something in my Address Book is not as it should be. (See OS and

The application does not want to start up and hangs, then needs to be

I have run Yasu, DiskWarrior and Disk Utilities (which I do
regularly). There were no problems, but it made no difference.
I have temporarily removed all of the various files and folders from
the user library and replaced them with back ups from a week or so
ago, but there is still little difference.
Strangely (at least at first) the Address book in Safari still
functions normally. Also when my partners login window is active, her
address book works normally. (almost identical lists)
By completely removing the Address book folder from the user library,
I can get the application to start. But it does not run well. If I
then revert to the database backup, it imports it, but hangs again.
Perhaps there is a strange .plist file somewhere that is corrupt.
OK, I see you have Panther ! Look in your Applications - Utilities
- Check Prefernce files
and try it out for a corrupt preference file
GOOD LUCK
Bob
I think it is time for me to stop guessing and ask someone with more
experience.
Thank you in anticipation.
