My computer recently crashed big time but I have a back-up of the entire hard
drive including my Outlook 2007 on a separate stand-alone drive. I backed up
using a program called Acronis.

Now I have reinstalled Outlook 2007 on a new computer. I have been able to
restore all of my archive files (.pst), but I cannot seem to restore my
address book. I have no idea what file extension or even where to look.

Any ideas...anyone?

There is no address book in Outlook. It is only a view of your Contacts,
which of course you still have in your PST file.
There are ample instructions everywhere on how to configure the view if you
failed to do so:

You know, Windows help keeps telling me exactly what you have told me, but I
must be too dense, because I try to follow the instructions in the link you
sent and I get nowhere. Thanks anyway Russ.

Works fine for everyone else. Can't help if you don't tell us what you tried
and what happened.
