SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to add the Microsoft Outlook 97 Address Book service to a profile, Address Book may not be in the list of available services.



CAUSE

RESOLUTION
Verify that the Contab32.dll File is in your Windows\System folder. If not, copy it from your Outlook setup medium.

If the Contab32.dll file is present and the problem still persists, reinstall from your setup medium as follows:

 * 2) Click the Start button and then click Run.
 * 3) In the Open box, type the following :\setup /Y /R where is the letter of the drive that contains setup disc.
 * 4) Click OK.

This will reinstall Outlook (and all Office applications, if you run Office Setup). You should now see the Outlook Address Book as an available service to add to a profile.
