Sounds like you need to create a new mail profile as yours probably did not survive the upgrades. Control Panel-MAil Icon-Profiles-New. Do not copy the old profile.

After furious head scratching, Rog asked:

| Greetings -
|
| I recently upgraded to Vista and to Outlook 2007, from XP and Outlook
| 2003. My first conversion was from XP to Vista - and I lost access to
| my contact folder then. I thought that when I upgraded from Outlook
| 2003 to 2007, I would get access back, but I didnt'.
|
| Now I can't access my Contacts. The problem seems to be that when I
| right click on the properties of my contact folder, and then try to
| click on the "Show this folder as an address book" it is grayed out.
| I've tried to go into the Tools - Address Book - and add an Address
| Book, but it says I already have an Outlook Address Book and won't
| let me add another.
|
| I can't access all of my distribution lists and addresses, and I can't
| create a new Address Book to replace it.
|
| Any ideas?
