No one can help you when you don't post any information. State exactly what
you did to correct the problem so we can see what you've done wrong. When
you create a new profile correctly and migrate your data to this profile
correctly you will be able to configure the address book view. Instructions
for doing so are posted here daily. Just read them and follow them. That way
you can put yourself through your own runaround and save us the trouble.

When I said I tried removing the old profile and creating a new one, I
meant
it. It didn't help! Nothing helped!

This sounds like the same problem Dale1948 is having. Please don't put me
through the same run-around. I don't have nearly as much patience.

Suggest trying the only thing that would work: create a new profile.

I am using Windows XP and Office 2007. After configuring my e-mail
account
and data files, I selected "Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book"
on
the "Outlook Address Book" tab of the "Contacts Properties" dialog box.
My
contacts appeared in the "Address Book" dialog box just fine for
awhile.
Suddenly, for no discernable reason, they disappeared from that dialog
box,
even though the contacts still exist. The "Show this folder as an
e-mail
Address Book" is still selected but grayed out. The steps in the
following
don't work:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ou...CL100626971033
and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/287563. I have tried everything,
including running Office Diagnostics, running scanpst.exe, removing the
old
profile, PST and other files and creating new ones, and
uninstalling/reinstalling outlook. Nothing works. Obviously, the
problem
is
not a corrupt PST file but some setting somewhere. I'm familiar with
regedit.
Somebody give me a clue, please! And not the obvious things that I have
already tried! This is driving me crazy!
