I am having a problem with the autocomplete addresse feature in office
outlook 2003 (11.8118.8122) sp2 program. Every time I close the outlook
program and open it again and try to send a new message the autocomplete
feature does not work.

So I have tried to solve this issue using the following solutions:

Solution # 1:
I opened office outlook and turned off the autocomplete feature, then I
closed the program then Open it again and re-enabled the autocomplete
feature. Next I clicked on new message and I sent an email to my self. my
email was saved in the autocomplete option, but once I close and reopene
outlook the autocomplete can not recall/autocomplete my email address.
==>this solution did not work.

Solution #2:
I search for the autocomplete catch file *.NK2 and deleted that file from my
computer. I opened my outlook software and sent an email to my self then
closed the program and then re-opened the software. Once again outlook could
not recall my email address. ** I found out that office outlook could not
replace the deleted file *.NK2 with a new cache file.
==>this solution did not work.

Solution #3:
I deleted the folder that contained NK2 cache file and then launched the
outlook program hoping the the software will create the deleted folder and
replace the missing cache files. **I found out that the software did create a
folder and some xml files but it did not create a cache file NK2.
==>this solution did not work.

Solution #4:
I used auto-detect and repair feature in the MS Office Setup.
==>this solution did not work

Solution #5:
I removed MS office outlook (ONLY) and reinstall it again.
==>this solution did not work

Solution #6:
I created a new profile.
==>this solution did not work

Solution #7:
I deleted the folder that contain cache NK2 file and opened outlook with the
new profile. ** the software replaced the deleted folder and files that I
have removed except for the cache file NK2. the program for some reson could
not create a new NK2 file.
==>this solution did not work

In general if I keep the program running then yes the autocomplete feature
does work, but once I close the program, for some reason, outlook can not
save the addresses to the cache file NK2.

I also noticed that the software can not recreate the cache file NK2.

So please can any one help my out with this problem.

It seems you didn't try the one solution that usually works: creating a new
mail profile.

I did miss that, but I'm not convinced you really created a new profile.
Describe the exact steps you used.
