Cannot find my contact list when trying to send email

[Bill H]

I just migrated my data from Windows XP to Vista 64 bit. My contacts are
accessible from the Contacts folder. However, when I am creating an email
and click on the "To" button it does not find my contact list. The dialogue
box comes up empty.

I have gone into Contacts - Properties and clicked on Outlook Address Book.
It will not let me access the check box labeled "Show this folder as an
e-mail address book."

You migrated your data incorrectly and damaged your mail profile. See this to
correct:
