Outlook: WAB.DLL is not found - what to do?
The error "WAB.DLL not found" mostly occurs when using Outlook 2000 under Windows 7. In this practical tip, we will show you how to solve the problem.
Outlook: WAB.DLL is not found
The error arises because the file systems have changed over the years and Windows is looking for the file elsewhere. The mistake can be avoided with a little trick.
- Open Windows Explorer using the key combination Windows Key + E.
- Open your hard drive (usually "C:") and click here one after the other on the folders "Program Files" and "Common Files".
- Here you will find the files "wab32.dll" and "wab32res.dll". Copy these two files.
- Switch back to the overview of your hard disk and open the folder "Windows" and then "System32".
- Paste the two files back here. You may have to confirm the process with a security question.
