I an unable to use my Contacts list in Outlook. I can see it but it's not
recognized. Some have suggested I delete Outlook and reload. Is that
necessary?
 
Not at all.
What is necessary is that you provide at least some information.
Like your Outlook version.
And what in the world you mean by "I can see it but it's not recognized.
" I'm sure that means something to you, but we can't read your mind.
 
I bought a Dell with Office Basic. Through my office I got Office XP
Professional and loaded that. A friend helped me copy all my files from
windows 98 and everything appeared to be successful (this was 6 months
ago).Contacts were in either a pst or csv format, can't remember now. I also
have them in msg. When I click New for an email and click on To: there are no
contact or list to select from. Yet on my Outlook bar I can click on Contacts
and see some of them, but not the entire list. Does this give you more
information?
And yes, this has not been working ever since I bough the computer but I'm
just now getting around to working on it.

Should just be a simple matter of configuring the Outlook Address Book.

Russ, got to step #6 which was Click to select Outlook Adress book then click
Next. Here's the message I then got: "The account you have added is not fully
configured. It might not work properly until re-configured correctly." I then
only click ok and it goes back to #6.
 
Do you have a valid, functioning email account and an Outlook Data File in
this profile?
 
Yes to the email account. I receive and can send if I type in the address.
What is an Outlook data file?

Yes, I do have a pst folder. Do you need to know the location?

No. I just need to know how your profile got corrupted. You're the only one
who would have any clues. You can try removing the Outlook Address Book
Service and re-adding it. If that doesn't work, then you'll need to create a
new profile.
