Outlook 2000 and VISTA

VISTA doesn't seem to like outlook 2000. I am constantly getting a message
about not finding the WAB DLL. I have checked that the file wab32.dll does
indeed exist. The effect it that I can receive e-mails but I can't do
anything else, eg send, reply, add contacts, correct contacts, etc. Any
ideas?

You have hit the problem of using Outlook 2000 (old unsupported software) in Internet Mail Only mode on Vista. Either change mode to Corporate or Workgroup or upgrade to a supported version such as Office/Outlook 2003 or 2007. Outlook 2000 is almost 8 years old.

I have the same problem that Thomas wrote about. I changed internet to
Corporate or Wrokgroup but I still get the same message. Where should the
WAB.DLL be? I couldn't find it. Where do I get it from?

Did you make a new profile? You can't get a wab.dll - if outlook doesn't
work you'll need to get a newer version.

Dear Diane - thanks for your response. I had used my first and last name in
Outlook and only a first name in the user profile so once I coordinated that
I no longer get the "can't find wab.dll" message. But I'm still peeling back
the onion.

When I tried to send mail I get a message back with the following:

"Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.
No transport provider was available for delivery to this recipient."

I think I have my account setup properly. Any ideas?

Tony

All this reply tells me is that i made a mistake by buying a computer with a
Vista operating system. Outlook 2000 has always filled my needs. I would not
recommend Vista to anyone I know. Thanks alot Microsoft.

That ain't nuthin! Just wait 'til February 17 next year when that faithful
TV set you've been watching just forever which has always filled your needs
drops dead in it's tracks because all the TV stations will be REQUIRED to
turn OFF their analog transmitters by the Federal Government. Thanks a lot
FCC...

I have the same problem with a missing WAB DLL file in MS Office working with
Vista. I use the MS new mail program so Outlook in need only to back up my
blackberry in contacts. Is there any way to get that to work Thanks Seth

If this method fails: http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/vista_wab.htm you'll
need to upgrade if you want to use it with your blackberry.
