Thus damaging your mail profile. Never overwrite one PST with another.

When I click on
the address book to add a contact I get this message, "The address
list could not be displayed. The contacts folder associated with
this could not be opened: it may have been moved or deleted or you do
not have permissions.

Never manipulate contacts using the Address Book interface. The Outlook
ADddress Book contains no data. Add Contacts in the Contacts folder.

I tried to add a contact and it said a new entry could not be added.
Please use the contacts module to create this entry. Not sure what
this is? I also tried using file/new/contact and that does not work.
I right clicked on an email and added that contact however I am not
sure where it put it.

In your delivery location Contacts folder, of course. You should be able to
repair your mail profile with ToolsE-mail AccountsView or change existing
directories or address booksNext. Select Outlook Address Book and click
Change. Remove all Contacts folder references (one of them is obviously
incorrect, based on the error you posted), stop, and restart Outlook. Then,
for each Contacts folder you want to appear in the Address Book, right click
the folder, choose Properties, select the Outlook Address Book tab, and
check the box labeled "Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book".

It's the Contacts folder in the same PST that holds the Inbox where mail is
delivered. Click FileData File Management to see which PSTs you're using.
See ToolsE-mail AccountsNext (bottom left) to see which PST you're using
for your delivery location.
