No address book after reinstalling Outlook 2007.

[|Eurofeeds]

After an upgrade to Windows 7 and reinstalling Outlook 2007, I have no
address book.
After the reinstall I had a new Personal folders file, all empty of course
(inbox etc). I opened the largest pst file I could find as there were 8 or
more, and that brought up my latest emails.

How do I get my address book back?

From the backup you made before you upgraded to Windows 7.

If you have Contacts in the Contacts folder but they are not accessible when
you click on the To button, check these settings:

Make sure the Contact folder is enabled as an email address book. Right
click the Contacts folder, choose Properties then Outlook Address Book. Is
the box to enable as email address book is checked?

If this is grayed out...

If you are using Outlook 2007 or 2010 and the the checkbox is grayed, you'll
need to make a new profile as you can't add the Outlook Address Book service
due to a bug.
