adding Contacts to directory

[Dave Indeck]

I am running a standalone Windows machine with no Exchange
or other directory. I recently upgraded from Office 2K to
Office XP. All my email came across OK, and my Contacts
folder is there and populated. But when I try to lookup
Contacts (e.g. to use in the email To it seems I lost
the connection between the Contacts and the directory
lookup. I have no other directories I want to use. When
I try to add or change my Outlook Address Book in Tools-

Email Accounts-> Directory->Pther Address Book Types-
Outlook Address Book, I get this error:

The account you have added is not fully configured. It
might not work properly until re-configured.

Any ideas what is wrong?

Hi Russ,

Like you suggested, I just created a brand-new profile,
imported my old *.pst file and now it looks like I am
good - the Contacts are searchable when looking up
addresses.

Thanks alot for your help. I really appreciate it!

Dave

Do you already have another address book service installed in this profile?
In place upgrades rarely work well. You probably have some left over address
book services connected in this profile. I'd start with a new profile after
an inplace upgrade.
