Contacts List disconnect

I no longer see the Contacts list when using the To
button for addressing messages. I have searched the
database and found some solutions but all hinge on re-
selecting the contacts list from a list, but it isn't
there.

Problem stemmed from installation of Groupwise (since
uninstalled). Have also tried Detect and Repair but no
luck.

Suspect solution is deep in the registry data somewhere.

Any help?

Cheers

Go to Tools | E-mail accounts, select "View or change existing directories
or address books", and click OK. If you don't see the OAB in the Directories
and Address Books list, click the Back button, then select "Add a new
directory or address book", then "Additional Address Books", and add the
OAB. Then keep clicking Back until you get back to the first dialog box,
and go back to the Directories and Address Books list as you did earlier.
Once the OAB appears in the list, select it and 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.

The Outlook Address Book is not added as a Service.
Like Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] said, it will depend on your version.
