First off, you can remove the Personal Address Book from your profile since
it's obsolete now and has been for a while. Remove it he Control Panel
Mail applet Email Accounts View/Change existing directories / address
books Click Next

Remove it should make the Outlook Address Book the default since it should
be the only one left

correct location?
Thanks

Well, you can try adding the Outlook Address Book service in the same place
I mentioned about removing the other service.

Ok. I did that. Now the Outlook Address Bok appears but it is empty. How do I
get my addresses to show? They are visible in 'contacts'.

Thanks

Right click on the Contacts folder, choose Properties, go to the Outlook
Address Book tab and make sure the "Show this folder as an email address
book" box is checked.

Ok -that worked. Thanks. I still have a problem however. When I imported the
Outlook Data file from the laptop everything was there except for the
subfolders in my contacts. I have 12 subfolders in contacts that appear in my
laptop. I copied the Outlook data file from the laptop to the desktop after I
formated that disc on the desktop.Curious that the rest of the data is there.
Thanks

Every contacts folder must be enabled as an address book individually.

Do you still have the PST file from the laptop? If so, open it using the
File menu Open Outlook Data File command and poke around it to see where
all your data may be. Then drag/drop what you need from one to the other.
