Outlook 2007 Contacts not in Address Book

[Craig G.]

I just upgraded to Office 2007 Pro and my contacts are not in my address
book. When I try to email, the TO: dialog box is all blanks. Nothing
available in drop down boxes, even though I have 7 contacts in my contacts
folder. When I check Help I see the following === Outlook Address Book
This address book does not require you to use a Microsoft Exchange account.
The Outlook Address Book is created automatically and contains the contacts
in your default Contacts folder that have either e-mail addresses or fax
numbers listed. These contacts are displayed in the Address Book dialog box
when you click Contacts in the Address Book list.
It seems my address book is not being created automatically... HELP

I just upgraded to Office 2007 Pro and my contacts are not in my
address book. When I try to email, the TO: dialog box is all blanks.

The Outlook ADdress Book service is not configured correctly. When
upgrading to Outlook 2007, that service often breaks. To fix it you need to
create a new mail profile and add it.

Thanks Brian,.... It worked, but I did have to restart my computer after
setting up a new email account. Have a great day.
