The Outlook Address Book service often does not survive an upgrade or tranferred files. Go to Control Panel-Mail Icon-Accounts-Directories and Address Books-Change. If the Outlook Address Book service is not listed, back up one step and add it. Close and restart Outlook and you should be good to go.
