Windows XP SP2. Just installed Outlook 2003. Have eight contact lists

email of contact each time - Outlook won't link to contacts to offer
me "suggestions" after I start typing name of contact

Outlook doesn't "link to contacts" when you begin typing in the To field.
It never has. Outlook Express would do that. WHat Outlook does is remember
addresses you've used before and it will suggest those when you start
typing, if you've enabled autocompletion.
