Keep getting a 'find people message" while typing in Outlook Express.

I'm typing a message in Outlook Express and a "find people" window keeps popping up no matter how many times I close it. Is there a setting that I need to disable to get rid of that?

 

Just typed Find into OE's help & got this .
Use the Clear All button .

To find people and businesses on the Internet
In the Address Book, click the Find People button on the toolbar.
-or-

In Windows, click the Start button, point to Find, and then click People.


Select the directory you want to search from the Look in drop-down list.


On the People tab, type the name or e-mail address of the person you want to look for, and then click Find Now.

-or-

On the Advanced tab, define the search criteria you want by filling in the top three boxes, clicking Add, and then clicking Find Now. (To remove a search criterion you added, select the item you want to delete from the Define Criteria list box, and then click the Remove button. Or, if you want to delete all criteria and start over, click the Clear All button.)

W95 you have 3 choices . With W98 , if you have IE5.1 or higher & you
still have IE4 installed the following applies . No IE4 only 2 choices .
IE5.5 if over the top of 5.1 , offers 3 choices .

You can install IE5.1 straight over 4 . A big feature with IE5 is that
it can be repaired without uninstalling . Here is how to do it . Open
Control Panel , Add / Remove , click on Microsoft Internet Explorer ,
then click on add / remove down the bottom . This opens a window with
3 choices .

Choice 1. Add , insert your IE5 install program & you can find other
items you may not have installed 1st time .

Choice 2. Repair , fixes problems that may crop up with IE5 / Outlook

Choice 3. If unfixable , removes IE5 & goes back to IE4 , now if you
want to you can reinstall IE5 or a later version or another browser
altogether .

No Microsoft Internet Explorer in Control Panel !
