Understanding MAILABVIEW Issues
Common MAILABVIEW Opening Problems
Microsoft Windows is Not Installed
Double-clicking your MAILABVIEW file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open MAILABVIEW File". If so, it typically means that you don't have Microsoft Windows installed for %%os%%. You won't be able to double-click to open your MAILABVIEW because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.
Tip: If you have another software that you know opens MAILABVIEW files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.
Microsoft Windows Requires Update
In other instances, your MS AddressBook File file version may not be supported by your version of Microsoft Windows. Installing the latest version of Microsoft Windows from Microsoft Corporation is recommended. Most of the time your MS AddressBook File file was created by a newer Microsoft Windows than what you have installed.
Tip: Investigate your MAILABVIEW file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.
Conclusion: The majority of MAILABVIEW file opening issues are due to not having the correct Microsoft Windows version installed.
