What did work is that I had to open Outlook select the properties of
contacts groups (family, work ect.) and click on Outlook Address Tab then
put a check in the box to Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book.

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.
