When I select "To" under a email message or attemp to search for a contact from any portion of Outlook 2003, I get an error which states:

"Address list could not be displayed. The contacts folder assoicated with this address list could not be opened; it may have been moved or deleted, or you do not have permissions."

I can see all of my contacts under the contacts folder. I'm not on Exchange, I'm pull mail directly for my ISP's POP mail server. The outlook.pst file is large 390MB. I didn't upgrade from Outlook 2002 but did a fresh install of Outlook 2003 along with the rest of Office 2003 upon rebuilding my laptop.

Also, I to identical Personal Folder trees
 
Go to Tools | E-mail accounts, select "View or change existing directories
or address books", and click OK. Select the Outlook Address Book then click
Change to make sure the Contacts folder(s) you want to display are listed.
If any of them aren't listed, you'll need to enable those Contacts folders
as Outlook Address Books by right clicking the folder, selecting Properties,
clicking the Outlook Address Book tab, and checking the "Show this folder as
an E-mail address book" box. Make sure you restart Outlook after making
these changes.

Thanks Russ that worked, but why do I have two personal folder, folders? Also any Outlook 2003 books you'd recommend?
 
There's no way for me to tell how you ended up with two Personal Folders
from what you've posted. Any Personal Folders file that is not your default
you can simply R click and close.

As far as Outlook 2003 books, I haven't seen any. I'd look for ones authored
by Ken Slovak, Diane Poremsky, or Patricia Cardoza.
