Exporting Outlook data is never the correct way to transfer it. Hard to know
what you demolished by doing so.
Seems to me you just haven't configured your Outlook Address Book Service.
Do so. Report back with your results. If you do not know how to do so, read
the instructions that are posted here daily:

I have a new system running Vista Home Premium and Outlook 2007. I exported
my 2003 Outlook and it seems to be running well except that Address Book
in
Mail does not have my contacts listed.

If I go to Contacts, there they are.

When I go to Step 2 of the instructions, the 'Show this folder as an e-mail
address book check box' is greyed and unselectable.

You'll need to make a new profile as you can't add the Outlook Address Book
service due to
a bug.

Then you corrupted your profile, most likely by migrating data improperly.
Create a new profile, and make sure you migrate your data to it correctly:
