Creating a new profile fixes this problem. There is no reason you would be
the sole exception to that. However, creating a new profile will work only
if you migrate your data to it correctly. State the precise steps you used
so we can figure out what you did wrong.

Which folder has the option to show it as an Address Book grayed out?
The
one with name without e-mail addresses?

The address book view will only display Contacts folder names with a
valid
electronic address so if that is the one grayed out, the issue is moot.
