Adress Book Contact Linkage

I fought the blaster worm and the blaster worm won. I had to reinstall everything and luckily my contacts were on my Pocket PC and are now reinstalled in Outlook XP with all the latest and greatest updates. Somehow my address book showed up as an email account so I had to remove it in order to send and receive email. I added it back in using Tools/E-mail Accounts /Add new directory or address book

Neither Personal Address Book nor Contact Address Book contains any entries. How can I complete the linkage so that my contacts show up when I press the To: button on my emails

Thanks.

It sounds like the association of the address book with the Contacts folder
needs to be enabled. Here are the steps to enable the contacts to display
in the Address Book:
1. Open Outlook.
2. Go to View and make sure Navigation Pane is selected.
3. Now go to Go -> Folder List.
4. Now in the Navigation Pane find the "Contacts" folder and Right Click on
it and Select Properties.
5. Select the Outlook Address Book tab.
6. Check the box for "Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book" and Click
OK.

I hope this information is helpful.
