Contacts I need I can't get to show as default contacts address b
 

With some great help from this site...!(Thanks) I have reinstalled a clean
version of OL2007 back to my computer after recovering the C: drive. All
seems well with PST but I cant get my old "Contacts" (That I guess that came
with "copied" PST) to show as defalt when I want to choose an e-mail address
from my contacts. If I click the "To box" I get offered under address book a
balnk contacts called "Accounts" If I click the down arrow my contacts are
there and if I double click they are live. How can I make them the default. I
have right clicked the properties tab on the contacts box as I read, and then
the Outlook show this address book as an e-mail address book, but the check
box is greyed out. Any ideas how I can fix this please?

Many thanks Andy.

With Outlook 2007, this is a fairly sure sign that you did not set up your
mail profile properly and the Outlook Address Book service connection to your
PST is damaged. Start with a new profile and set it up properly. See this:
