Contacts visable but not recognised after new install (easy TX)

[Anthony Brown]

I recently used the easy Transfer from Windows 7 to move from XP Pro. then
installed Windows Office 2007.. As Im connected to SBS2008 once I joined the
Domain the profile in Oulook just worked.. But the contacs in Outlook are not
recognised by any form of searching outside of being in the search field
within the contact tab.. the "Show this folder as an e-mail address book" is
greyed out and all efforts hit a wall.

Any ideas would be appriciated

Answered countless times. You cannot use Windows Easy Transfer with Outlook.
The profile it creates is corrupt. You cannot install the address book
service in it. You must create a new profile from scratch.
