Default Contacts can't be used in address book - Outlook 2007

WET will not configure your Outlook Address Book for you. You must first add
the Outlook Address Book Service to your profile, restart Outlook, then you
can enable your Contacts Folder as an email address book.

I've just bought a new laptop with Vista Business and Office 2007. I used
the "Easy Transfer" feature to bring all my outlook data from my old
machine
(Office XP). Now I have a problem that I can't use my contacts in the
address book. The contacts folder is there and I can see all the contacts
in
it.

I can right-click on the contacts folder, go into Properties and go to the
Windows Address Book tab, but the box to tick for "Show this folder as an
e-mail address book" is greyed-out (disabled) and I can't select it. Does
anyone know how to enable it?
