Outlook Express Error

[socalgal]

Hi quiet~

Are you running IE5.01? If so, you could this:

After you download Internet Explorer 5.01, you may be unable to start Outlook Express or open the address book in Outlook Express. You may also receive the following error message:

MSIMN caused an Invalid page fault in module WAB32.dll

CAUSE
This behavior may occur if the Wab32.dll file is damaged or corrupted.

RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, rename the address book name. Do not rename the extension.

NOTE: The address book file name is usually your logon name.

Click Start, point to Find, and then click Files or Folders.


In the Named box, type *.wab. By default, the file should be located in the Windows\Application Data\Microsoft\Address Book folder.


Right-click the Name.wab file, and then click Rename. Do not change the .wab file extension.


Type a new name for the file, and then press ENTER.

Start Outlook Express and then open the address book. This action creates a new address book.

Import the messages from the first renamed *.wab file into the new address book.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.

MORE INFORMATION
This behavior may also occur if the Outlook Express folder is named Outloo~1. If the the Outlook Express folder is named Outlook~1, rename the folder to Outlook Express.

For information about how to rename a folder:

Click Start, and then click Help.

On the Index tab, type renaming, and then double-click the Renaming folders topic.

you could also replace the corrupted dll by getting the file from the following site:
http://solo.abac.com/dllarchive/

check to see where the faulty dll is stored by using the find file program, then go to programs>accessories>system tools>system information. go to the tools menu and then pick file system checker. select the option to extract one file and then follow the directions to replace the bad dll with the good one you downloaded from the archive.
if socalgal's method did not work and the dll is not in the archive. post to the dll forum. its a place where you can post that you need a particular dll file and hopefully someone that has it will send it to you.
here is the site:

another thing that might help is a registry clean, which is a good idea once in awhile in any case, especially if you download programs all the time and then get rid of them for some reason. this leads to all kinds of junk in your registry and this has been causing me problems despite fixing all my dlls using system file checker. go to http://www.tweak3d.net and then go to the tweaking menu and look at the article about system cleanup. it tells you where to get the programs to clean with and how to use them. it helped me a lot.


hope all this helps!
