laptop just needed to type in two-three letters and got a list of all
my contacts starting in those letters I now have to type in the whole
adress. I have tryed to copy over basicly all outlookfile i could
find on my old laptop over to the newone, but still dont work.


The file containg your autocompletion cache is {yourprofile}.NK2 in the
(usually hidden) folder
%AppData%\Microsoft\Outlook, where "{yourprofile}" matches your mail profile
name. Copy that file, put it in the same place on the new PC, make sure its
name matches the name of your current mail profile on that machine, and it
should work. Here's some more information on it:
