Is there a limit as to how many contacts you can have in your Outlook
Express Address Book? When entering a new contact I received an error
message that says "Unable to complete this operation due to insufficient
disk space. Please free some disk space and click OK to try again".

I have 80 Gigs free so it's not truly disk space, however, I run a car
registry and have a lot of contacts.

Cheers,

David

No.

Windows version?

First, try Taking Out the Trash: http://aumha.org/a/health.htm (#4).

Is MS Office or Outlook also installed?

Do you have this Registry key?...

HKEY_CURRENT_USER
\Software
\Microsoft
\WAB
\WAB4

If not, STOP; If so, is there a DWORD named UseOutlook and is its value set
to 1 (one)?

If not, STOP; If so, Address Book is configured to share contacts with
Outlook, even if you don't use it (can happen with the install of Office).
Change the value to 0 (zero) and all should be well. (If that DWORD is not
present, don't create it, and don't alter any other DWORD values.)

Note that any changes (additions, deletions, edits) made while sharing was
enabled will not be available (displayed) in Address Book when sharing is
disabled.
