Default Reloaded Outlook 2003 - Contacts Do Not Work Properly

I had a significant crash & I had to reload XP from scratch.

Reloaded Office 2003 with no problem. I keep my Outlook.pst file in a
folder that was unaffected.

I can view all my contacts, but when I try to insert them in the addressee
field, I get an error message, "The address list could not be displayed.
The contacts folder associated with this address list could not be
opened....

I exported the contacts and imported it, but the error keeps coming up.

On the left upper side of my contacts window, I have a "Contacts" and below
it I have a "Contracts in Personal folders." They both display the same
contacts.

What can I do to return things to normal?

Thanks,

Dennis

I solved my problem thanks to Russ' answer to the posting before mine. I
removed my Outlook address book & re established it.

Works just as before.

thanks,

Dennis

Better check your Contacts now to be sure they're alright. Exporting and
importing Outlook Data is a good way to lose or misdirect that information.
