Windows 7 outlook address book problems

Office is working no problems on RC for me. I'm no expert hope my commentsare helpful. Wednesday, July 1, PM. I have the identical problem, worked fine before I installed service pack upgrade yesterday. Did ou find a resoluion? Friday, July 3, PM. I have the same problem as well. No, resolution as of yet. Thank goodness outlook remembers email addresses you sent or this would be unbearable. I will post back here if I figure something out.

Monday, July 6, PM. Is there any kind of a work around? Or should we look into another email clint for Windows 7? Wednesday, July 29, PM. Has anyone figured this annoying flabergasting error out yet? Friday, August 7, PM. Hello, I have the same problem with W7RC. I created different contact lists, subfolders, changed access priorities and nothing helped.

All contacts are visible in Outlook, but the adress boo doesn't how any. Wednesday, September 23, PM. Hi I have just installed Windows 7 Home premium and I have the exact same problem. My "Contacts" folder is also in bold followed by the number of contacts in brackets, in bold and colored green. Does that help to provide a solution. I've tried everything else suggested - creating a new profile etc. I have also created a brand new contacts 'backup' but I can't get that to the address book either - the option to add it to the address book via the check box is greyed out!

Thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve the site. Then open outlook and step through setting up your account. Once done Import all your information from your old pst file on your desktop. This seems like a quicker way than the long steps Brian listed. If it doesn't work then you could do it his way.

How does it know? I clicked cancel but it won't let me in to outlook to set it up. Is there some other file I must delete? After posting this, I clicked OK instead of cancel and outlook opened up with no emails or contacts obviously.

I then went to import and imported the PST file from the desktop. Unfortunately, it shows the same as I had before and images above. I want to get Outlook with same settings, emails, accounts, addresses onto a new Windows 7 PC where I have already installed Outlook I am happy to remove all traces of Outlook on new PC if I knew how to and start again.

After you walk thru the setup make sure the new profile is selected under "Always use this profile". Then open outlook. You should have no data in it until you import it. If that works go back to outlook properties and delete the old profile. Narf thanks again for your help and advice. I right-click on Outlook on my start menu and click properties. I don't get 'Show profiles'. I get General, shortcut, compatibility, security, details, previous versions.

None of these have a Profile details. As you will have noticed, i am also communicating with Brian on the outlook site but no getting anywhere with that either. As I said to him. I have a vista PC with outlook working perfectly.

All I want to do is get it on to my new Windows 7 PC and for it to show and work in exactly the same way.
