Outlook XP Display Map

[NanaK]

I have Outlook XP running all from my computer. However, when I click to display a map of the contact address absolutely nothing happens. This is a feature that we would like to use, but cannot resolve how to get the map to display. I use MSN explorer as a web browser, and thought it might be because I wasn't using IE, so I made IE my default browser, but still nothing happens.

since posting, I have loaded Office 2003 Professional and display map still
not working. Followed all directions from your response and tried each of
the different URL's but I keep getting the message that MS has encountered a
problem and unable to complete. [This is more than I got before]. Any other
suggestions?

The technique described at the page I suggested does not apply to Outlook
2003, unfortunately. You should remove the added registry value completely.

After trying to get this to work, it appears that I need to set up a file
type in my folder options in order to get this to navigate. Any idea on what
the file type might be and how to get it set up in order to have this work
when it is clicked on either in the contact or in the smart tags?

When I click on the display map I get the following message: This file does
not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an
association in the Folder Options control panel.

If I go to the Folder Options in the control panel, under file types either
I need to select from the list [which it obviously isn't in there] or create
new.

Did you remove the map URL key from the registry, the one you added earlier?

Yes, I removed the registry entry that I had added earlier, as indicated by
your response.
