Contacts list missing

[Dave]

When I hit on the "To:" to locate an address, an error message panel says,
"the address list could not be displayed, etc"
then a locate names folder appears, blank, and over in the "Show Names drop
down" is a list of :
1. Outlook address book
2. Contacts
3 Contacts 2008
4. Personal address book.

All are blank except the Contacts 2008 which houses a contacts listing.
How do I get rid of the empty lists and have Outlook simply go direct to my
contacts folder.
Many Thanks
Dave

Answered many times. Depends on your Outlook version which you failed to
post.

Remove the invalid references here: Tools > E-mail accounts > View or change
existing directories or address books > Outlook Address Book > Change. >

Outlook has not used a Personal Address Book for a decade. There is no
reason you should have one in your profile.
