Contacts not in address book.

[YmK]

I had to reinstall my Windows and Office.
I have Office 97/2000/XP and 2003.
Of course Outlook is 2003 and the PST file is 2003 format.
It is the same PST file as before. I just replaced it with the one Outlook
creates.
I have one problem:
All the contacts folders I have, are not available in the address list and
in all of them the check box for show this folder as address book is grey.
I cannot select any contact for an email...

HELP!!!

Is the Outlook Address Book service installed? Go to Tools->Email
Accounts->Directories and address books. Do you have the OAB service
installed? If not, back up one step and add it.

Thanks.
I always thought the Address book service was automatic.
It is working perfect.
