Hi,

I have read through several posts and solutions to the same problem I have,
but I have a different twist that I haven't been able to figure out and need
some help. I have a user who's PC crashed a few weeks ago and I had to
reinstall Office. He recreated some contacts, but when he goes to create a
new message and click on the "To:" field, he gets the message "The address
list could not be displayed" as so many other have.
I also read the fixes for this, but here is my twist. When I go to Tools |
E-Mail Accounts | view/Change existing directories or address books, and
select change, no contact lists show up, it is empty.

When I click on "New Message" and select "To:" I get the error above and the
list of contacts and it's blank. In the upper right hand corner for the
"Show Names from the:" list, I have two contacts, with the default being
"Contacts" and a 2nd called "My Contacts" The "My Contacts" contain the
contacts, and the default "Contacts" is empty. If these aren't displaying in
the Tools | E-mail Accounts | View... for me to remove the blank one, where
can I do this? Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks, Mike
