Address Book will not come up using Fax Wizard
My OS is Windows XP. Before I installed Microsoft Office XP-2002, whenever I
would send a fax from my old word processor -- AmiPro -- or Notepad, the Fax Wizard would come up and I could click on Address Book and select the recipient. Now I get all sorts of error messages that I cannot use the Address Book (and no entries are showing), whether I use Word, AmiPro or Notepad. But the Address Book is still on my hard drive -- I can access it through Start - All Programs - Accessories - Address Book -- though I get a new prompt, asking me if I want to make it my default V-card viewer.

Address Book will not come up using Fax Wizard
Whenever you install Outlook, Windows XP Fax switches from using the Windows
Address Book to the Outlook Address Book. So should you, it appears. What happens if you reset your OS to use the Windows Address Book? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Nhmiller" wrote in message ...

Address Book will not come up using Fax Wizard
Whenever you install Outlook, Windows XP Fax switches from using the Windows
Address Book to the Outlook Address Book. So should you, it appears. Yes, I want to do the normal procedure. But when I was going through the Send Fax Wizard and clicked on Address Book, I get a window saying "The address book cannot be displayed ... , etc." Then I click OK, and the Address Book window opens anyway. At the top it says "Show Names from the" and I can choose Outlook Address Book or Contacts. If I choose Contacts and click on New, I get the error message as above: "The address book cannot be displayed ... etc." If I choose Outlook Address Book and click on New, the New Entry window opens. No matter what choices I make there, I get the error message: "A new entry could not be added. Please use the contacts module to create this entry." What happens if you reset your OS to use the Windows Address Book? How is that done? Thank you for your answers, and let me know if you want me to Post to Newsgroup AND send via e-mail to you as we are going through this problem. Thanks much for your help.

Address Book will not come up using Fax Wizard
The messages you are getting simply indicate that you have not yet
configured your Outlook Address Book, so Windows XP Fax can't find any records. Since I suspect you have not made any entries into your Outlook Contacts, we can address that later. Go to Control Panel Internet Options Programs... Change your Contact list manager to the Windows Address Book instead of Outlook and see if you get your fax Contacts back in the Fax Wizard. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Nhmiller" wrote in message ...

Please tell me how that is done -- could not find it in Outlook Go to Control Panel Internet Options Programs... Change your Contact list manager to the Windows Address Book instead of Outlook and see if you get your fax Contacts back in the Fax Wizard. Did this as you described, but I still get the same error messages, even after rebooting. Choices were Address Book and Outlook.
