are you trying to use it as an outlook address book or in the windows
address book?

Easy transfer is not the best for outlook profiles- you'll do better making
a new one, especially since you changed versions of outlook.

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?
