Default Missing contacts after Windows 7 clean install

You wrote: If this is grayed out... you'll need to make a new profile as you
can't add the Outlook Address Book service due to a bug.

Is there any chance that somebody has already repaired this bug? I made
Windows migration to have all settings as in old computer but because of this
bug I must made again all setting in Outlook from beginning. It's crazy...
HELP!

Where are they missing from?

If you have Contacts in the Contacts folder but they are not accessible when
you click on the To button, check these settings:

Make sure the Contact folder is enabled as an email address book. Right
click the Contacts folder, choose Properties then Outlook Address Book. Is
the box to enable as email address book is checked?

If this is grayed out... you'll need to make a new profile as you can't add
the Outlook Address Book service due to a bug.

Import is bad, just open the old pst in the new profile.

I did a clean install of windows 7 and reinstalled Office 2007 (prior to
the install I copied my outlook pst file to an external drive). After
reinstalling office I opened Outlook and imported my outlook pst file and
I got everything back (emails, calendar events) but not my contacts. What
have I missed?
