When you say that you "deleted the whole thing".... what did you delete? Did
you remove the Contacts folder somehow? If so, you might need to do a
/resetfolders as described he

See if this helps: close Outlook and use the Mail applet in Control Panel to
remove the Outlook Address Book service from your mail profile. Then add it
back in.
