  4. If the file is in this directory, but the address book entries do not appear in the Outlook 98/2000/Express address book, continue with the steps below.

    13. Close the Registry Editor and reboot your computer.
    14. "This folder has been damaged. It will now be repaired. (Name of folder)"
    15. After hitting OK, a second message appears: "The folder is being accessed by another process and cannot be repaired."

    1. Close Outlook 98/2000/Express.
    2. From the Desktop, click on Start | Find | Files or Folders.
    3. Ensure that the box marked Look In shows the C: drive and not another drive letter or folder.
