When I compose an email and press the "to" button, the dialog box pops up as
it should, but it does not display my contacts in the list field. I selected
every option on the drop-down menu on the right, but it always says there are
no addresses. I know this isn't the case because I have several hundred
entries in my contacts. Why can't it "see" them. Thanks so much in advance
for any help on this.

What *do* you see? And in what version of Outlook?

Thanks for your response. I'm using outlook xp (2002) but I just got a new
computer, so I'm wondering if the old version of office isn't speaking well
to the new version of windows.

What I see is a little message in the field that should have my addresses
that says "no entires found."

On a similar, and possibly related, note, the program will not resolve any
email addresses that I start to type into the "to" field.

Thanks again for responding.

That still doesn't tell us very much. Remember, we can't look over your shoulder.

So this is just guessing: Go to Tools | E-mail accounts, and add a new address list -- the Outlook Address Book, then restart Outlook.
