Address list not found

[Griff]

Hi,

Recently had to re-install Windows XP and before doing so saved the outlook
.. pst file which resided in Outlook 2003.

After re-installing XP, I copied this file across to the new Outlook Folder
and all of my previous emails are accessible again - great.

Only problem is when I write a new email, and I click on To... at the side
of the address box I get a message saying 'The address list could not be
displayed'

In my Folder list in the main Outlook window I have a folder called
'Contacts' and all of my email addresses appear there.

How is it possible to get this list to appear at the drop down at the side
of the address box when composing a new email?

Thanks,

Griff.

Never overwrite a PST file. You will corrupt your profile.
If the only thing that got corrupted was your Outlook Address Book, just
remove it, restart Outlook, then re-add it. If you find other settings
corrupted, you'll need to create a new profile, then reconnect your old data
correctly:
