Please help!
I have problems with outlook.
I did a fresh installation of winxp and office xp when I got a new HD.
I opened my old .pst file in outlook and closed/deleted the new one.
I associated all the email-accounts to it and everything else is okay but:

I can't associate my contacts folder with the outlook address book.
(under Contacts-Folder => Properties => Outlook Address book the option to use the folder as outlook address book is greyed out)

How can I associate my contacts folder (in my old .pst file) with the outlook address book?

I have been searching for a solution to this problem for over a week ....
and now when I post it here I find it myself:

Use the following steps to add an Address Book to your Outlook 2002 profile:
Open Microsoft Outlook 2002.
On the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.
Click Add a new directory or address book, and then click Next.
Click Outlook Address Book, and then click Next.
OK when you receive the following prompt:
The E-mail Account you have just added will not start until you choose Exit from the File menu, and then restart Microsoft Outlook.
Exit Outlook 2002.
The next time that you launch Outlook 2002, your Outlook Address Book will be available and the contacts folder can now be associated with the address book.
