I recently installed Windows 7. The rest of my Outlook 2007 seems to be
doing fine, but I do not have my contacts appear in the drop down list when I
search the To, Cc, and Bcc boxes. I followed the directions on the online
help thread, but Contacts does not show up as an option in my Addresss Book
tools/options. My contacts still appear in the contacts tab, but they are
not synching with my email address book. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.

Is this a clean install, an upgrade, or what? How did you migrate your
Outlook data?
 
I have that same problem. I did a windows easy transfer to a new Win 7 pro
machine.

Then you need to create a new Mail profile and attach the existing pst file
to it.
All the recommendations in all the Outlook newsgroups are that WET fouls up
Outlook.
 
I ran into exactly the same issue. Check Andy Siegal's post from Oct. 30th
below. The solution is to create a whole new profile for your email accounts
(yes, a pain) but then it will find your address book. Go to Control Panel,
Mail, Show Profiles, and then create a new one. Keep the old one for now
until your new one is working fine. You just have to point the new profile to
your outlook files and it will find everything. Do this under Data Management
in Outlook (from your new profile). Once you have all your email set-up and
everything appears normal you can go back to control panel and delete your
original profile.
 
That did not work for me.

What did work is that I had to open Outlook select the properties of
contacts groups (family, work ect.) and click on Outlook Address Tab then
put a check in the box to Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book.
