I have just setup a new PC and installed Outlook and I have copied the PST
file from my old PC to the new one. When I open Outlook on the new PC all my
emails are there but my email accounts are not setup and my contacts are
listed in the contact folder but when I try to select an address when
selecting “To� in a new email they do not show up.
I thought all this data was stored in the PST file and would be copied
across to the new PC, is this not so and if so what do I need to do to copy
this across as well?

You didn't say what version of Outlook/Office you are using. For example,
if using Office/Outlook 2003 it is best to use the Save My Settings Wizard
of Office to move over your settings. (It doesn't move the PST, but it will
move over your accounts and settings.)

In any event, the PST does not store your account settings as those are
stored in the Windows registry.

Where is the SAVE MY SETTINGS WIZARD?? I have looked all over for this and
can't find it. The delineation between the contacts folder and the address
book is a pain. My contact folder has all my contacts, but I can't address
any of the contacts.

Right-click your Contacts folder, choose Properties, select the Outlook
Address Book tab, and check the option labeled "Show this folder as an
e-mail Address Book". You may have to stop and restart Outlook.

I've done what you suggested and now I get the following error message...

"The address list could not be displayed. The Contacts Folder associated
with this address list could not be opened, it may have been deleted, or you
do not have permissions. For information on how to remove this folder From
the Outlook Address Book, see Microsoft Office Outlook Help"

Also when I got to select a name I find I have two Contacts folders and only
one with my contacts in them. When I go to my Contact folder list I have only
one folder there.

How do I stop the second Contact list from openning when I want to select
names to insert in a email

Click ToolsE-mail AccountsView or change existing directories or address
booksNext. Select Outlook Address Book and click Change. Remove the
incorrect reference there.
