I am using Windows XP and Office 2007. After configuring my e-mail account
and data files, I selected "Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book" on
the "Outlook Address Book" tab of the "Contacts Properties" dialog box. My
contacts appeared in the "Address Book" dialog box just fine for awhile.
Suddenly, for no discernable reason, they disappeared from that dialog box,
even though the contacts still exist. The "Show this folder as an e-mail
Address Book" is still selected but grayed out. The steps in the following
don't work:

and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/287563. I have tried everything,
including running Office Diagnostics, running scanpst.exe, removing the old
profile, PST and other files and creating new ones, and
uninstalling/reinstalling outlook. Nothing works. Obviously, the problem is
not a corrupt PST file but some setting somewhere. I'm familiar with regedit.
Somebody give me a clue, please! And not the obvious things that I have
already tried! This is driving me crazy!
