get back in but do not have anyone in my address book.

That means youre Outlook Address Book service is misconfigured.
Right-click your Contacts folder. Choose Properties. Select th
Outlook Address Book tab. Click the box labeled "Show this folder as a
e-mail Address Book". Click OK

Which would leave the newly created mail profile despite no longer having
no e-mail accounts (not e-mail addresses) defined.
as I was not getting mail.

Which meant you did not use the correct parameters when you defined the
e-mail account in Outlook.
then outlook was starting in Safe Mode.

Perhaps because you have an incompatible or defective add-on installed to
Outlook.
I now deleted the e-mail addresses in Outlook using REGEDIT

Doesn't mean anything to me since you didn't mention WHAT you did in the
registry.
and now Windows corrected Outlook

Windows doesn't "correct" Outlook. Perhaps you meant that you ran the
Detect and Repair function from an MS Office component.
and now I can get back in but do not have anyone in my address book.

Contacts are stored in the .pst file. Perhaps you corrupted it. Have you
tried renaming your old .pst file (to something else for an extension, like
..old_pst) and then starting Outlook? It will report that it cannot find
the old .pst file so you have it create a new one. You'll be starting from
scratch for the message store (.pst file).
