microsoft LDAP directory is unavailable (52)

[spiff1971]

Has anyone heard of this error code. I am unable to add anything to my address book in Outlook and continue to get this error when I try.

I have checked Microsoft reference, but no success. Any ideas on where I can get info to correct this?

thanks

Maybe reregestering this Dll might change your luck, just a guess, though.

Run the following from start/run: Press OK after entry.

regsvr32 Wldap32.dll


This may help too.

Run the System File Checker program from the Run Box by typing.....Sfc /Scannow in it and have your XP CD handy.
