Default Address book gone - contacts still there

Sorry, I just realized I was supposed to post this he

I am having a problem with my address book. First time I am using Outlook
2003. Last week I had to recover my computer and its I overwrote the
Outlook.pst file with my old Outlookpst file. I had a lot of problems, but
eventually I was able to get all of my old emails open. My calendar and
tasks are also fine.

However, my address book is messed up. My old address book contacts are all
showing up in that third "contacts" list. However, when I go to open my
address book, I get this error:

"The address list could not be displayed. The Contacts folder associated
with this address list could not be opened; it may have been moved or
deleted, or you do not have permissions. For information on how to remove
this folder from the Outlook Address Book, see Microsoft Outlook Help."

I found some instructions on mine as to how to fix this, but it didn't work
when I tried to check the "Show this address list first"

I found some other instructions that says I should remove and reinstall the
Outlook address book. I'm a little nervous to do that because I don't want
to lose all of my contacts and I don't know how to back up just those
contacts.

Does anybody have any advice on how I can get my contacts into my address
book? I'm afraid to sync my Blackberry, because I think I will lose all of
my contacts in my phone!

Thanks, Renee
