Default Missing contacts after Windows 7 clean install

This is really annoying. Microsoft Oulook 2007 contacts are not visible in
Windows 7 Fax and Scan address book even after doing everything you have
suggested. I have opened the old .pst file instead of importing it which
enabled the option to choose Contacts as an address book under Properties.
However, the check box reverted to grey after a couple of times I opened
Outlook. Even before it turned grey again, the contacts were not visible in
the Address book. More damning is the fact that I added another Contact group
to the Address Book and it does not show up anywhere.

Could it be that Microsoft designed and developed software does not work
with their own Windows 7?

Thank you very much. I found the list in Contacts. Then what to do! I did a
rt-clk on the Contacts list and selected Properties and then checked "Show
this folder as an e-mail Address Book". Then there is. Thank you Gordon.


Consider copying the old contacts to the new default Contacts folder. Open
the old Contacts folder, press Ctrl+A to select all of the contacts, then
right-click and drag the selection to the new Contacts folder. Release the
mouse button and choose Copy. Then close the old PST by right-clicking its
root and choosing Close.
