I just switched from Windows2000 to WindowsXP.
When I switched, I copied my Outlook.pst file from my outlook installation in Windows2000 to my Outlook installation in WindowsXP so that I could carry over my mail and contact information. All of this information came across without a problem, except for Outlook's address book.
Outlook uses the Address book to pull names from when you send an email so that you don't have to type them. Ordinarilly, these are pulled directly from the contacts, however my address book is completely empty. Furthermore, when I try to add entries, it says:
"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 more information on how to remove this folder from the Outlook Address Book, see Microsoft Outlook Help." (Which is of course ... no help at all).
Anybody have any idea what's going wrong or how to fix it?
Thanks,
Telstar
