The Address book in my Outlook 2007 is blank, i have read many post and
tried all the proposed soultuions i could find without a satisfactory
result.

When I go to ToolsAccount SettingsAddress Book, Outlook Address Book is
listed, the "type" is MAPI. The only actions available on that page are
"New" and "Change".

If I select "New" Additional Address Books it won't allow
me to pick "Outlook Address Book" as a type, because it already exists.
If I select "Change", the dialog that appears has an empty list of Outlook
Address
Books.

If I select the Properties on Contacts folder, then (and select the Outlook
Address Book) tab. The "Show
this folder as an email Address Book is unchecked and is grayed (so i can
not select the checkbox)

I have made a clean profile an imported the the contcts to the new file, no
help
