This pertains to Outlook 2003 SP2 - Outlook also has been de-installed and
re-installed.

Issue is not when one clicks the Address Book button in the toolbar, but
when one clicks either the TO: button on the new mail message or the ADD
OTHERS: button on a new meeting request, Outlook locks. Usually the AB pops
up and you select a address from the listings.

The question is: how can I find/move/make appear the AB so that it can be
used??

There isn't a control-menu on the upper left of the box and only a X on the
upper right.

any thoughts?
