Corrupt Address Book

Windows XP pro sp3
Internet Explorer 6
Outlook Explorer 6
Address book in .wab

I set up a new identity for Outlook Express, but then I went back to the
Original Identity.
In the process I cannot get my address book back like I like it.
I have a saved address book in a folder, but when I import it, the Address
book just doubles
up on the names and still will not let me have the same as the saved Address
book.

How can I uninstall the Address book and then reinstall the Address book so
that I can then
import the saved Address book.

I have lost track of what you are doing, but under Edit click on Select All,
then click on Delete at the top of the task (tool?) bar. Looks simple enuf
for me, and that is what the Help Folder says to do under HELP......take a
look at that.

Thank you Heather, but that only deletes the addresses from the address
book. What I would like to do is
get rid of the entire Address book and then re install a new Address Book
that I could then import my
addresses into it.

Hi Bruce; My original Address book had several Folders with address in
them. Now there are several Folders that
appear to be missing. So I tried to recreate the Folders and I find that I
am unable because a popup tells me that
there is already a Folder with that name. I tried other names and got the
same result. So somehow these Folders
are hidden from me. I went into Control Panel - Folder Options and I
noticed that show hidden Folders was
checked. I unchecked it and then hit apply, then I rechecked it and hit
apply, ok.
However, these Folders still are there but unseen in my address book.
How do I once again get these Folders to be seen, so that I can see the
addresses I have in them?
thank you
