Outlook 2003 transfer .pst file from PC to Laptop

[maxxdm17]

I transfered my .pst file to my laptop. All was transfered OK, but when I
wanted to sen an email there were no contacs that I could click on.
Under the "Contact" icon is does show all my contacts.
How do I get those contacts into a "contact" folder to use when I do emails
so I can it?

Right click the Contacts folder->Properties-> tab Outlook Address Book->
enable; Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book

That works. Now I have 2 "contacts" showing in the "select Names" that
opened. I then (after a warning that something is wrong) must click on the
other "Contact" folder to get the names to appear.
Any way to delete the "contact"folder that has nothing?
In my Contact main page, I have 2 contact folders. One as "contacts" & the
other as "Old Contacts". The one named "contacts" is the one that is used and
shows names above.

Click Tools>E-mail Accounts>View or change existing directories or address
books>Next. Select Outlook Address Book and click Change. Remove the bogus
folder there, then stop and restart Outlook.

Hi Tony
Are you sure your pst files was all right? if not, you can try a tool
