Adding Address Book to User Profile

[TJ]

I'm running Outlook 2000 IMO on XP home and would like to add my address book to my user profile. I'm not sure how to do this or if it's possible in IMO.

What do you mean?
IMO does not use profiles, and the Outlook Address Book is installed and
enabled by default. You can't even disable it.

I did ask if it were possible in IMO since I've seen you recommend that to correct problems for other posters. However, my Outlook address book is disabled in some way. Contacts are disabled. I believe it may have something to do with the size of the pst file when I opened outlook and it looked for my .pst file. However, that said. I cannot get my contacts back even by importing my backup pst. My contacts/address book cannot be set to enter incoming email addresses. I cannot even add in the addresses I lost manually. Something is corrupted I would think. So the question would be to uninstall Outlook and reinstall and let it start a new .pst. If I can use Contacts then it's the old .pst files, I suppose. Would you suggest seeing if that works?

There is no way to repair the "Outlook" Address Book engine in IMO mode. Are
you sure that's where the problem is? Do your Contacts display correctly in
the Contacts Folder? What happened to this PST file when you said Outlook
couldn't find it? Have you tried repairing the PST file with the Inbox
Repair Tool?
