Thanks for the advice, but it didn't work. When I checked for the
address book service, it was already there. For step 2, when I went
to mark my contact folder for use with the address book, the check
wasn't already marked. So I marked it. But it still doesn't show up
in the folder list. I think that's the main problem. There is no
contacts folder in my folder list.

Since a contacts folder MUST exist in a Personal Folders store you have open
(or it wouldn't appear) and since the Folder List view ALWAYS shows all
folders, I suspect you're not looking at the Folder List view. Display your
Contacts view where you say you can see the Contacts folder and right-click
it. The General tab should have a Location field. What does that Location
field contain?

I can only see it when I open the
"contacts" tab in the navigation pane. I've tried to add a folder in
my personal folder called "contacts," it says it already exists. But
it's not there! Any other advice?

Just make sure you're really using the Folder List view.
