Didn't bother to read any of the posts here did you?
If you had, you would know that you never use Vista's Easy Transfer with
Outlook. It does not work. It creates a corrupt profile in which the address
book service cannot be added or activated.
Create a new profile. Use one of the many well documented methods to migrate
your data to it.

i recently installed Office 2007 on a new laptop running Vista
Ultimate64bit
and then used Easy Transfer to import data from an old laptop using Office
2003.
My problem is that despite all the Contacts being imported correctly I am
unable to connect the Address book to the Contacts folder
I have checked all configuration in the Address Book settings- Outlook
Address Book (MAPI) is present but in Properties for the Contact Folder it
is
not possible to tick the box for "Show this folder as an e-mail address
book". The tick box is greyed out. Any ideas on how to resolve this would
be
very appreciated.
