I have exactly the same problem as the original enquirer (in Outlook 2007 the
check box to designate a contacts folder as an address book is dimmed) and I
don't understand the responses (ie creating a new profile). I used a Belkin
transfer kit to transfer my Outlook data from my XP to my new Vista laptop.
Are there any (easier) options?

The only "new profile" I can find relates to email addresses by changing the
whole Vista structure oon my laptop and I don't understand what to do or what
such a move might affect elswhere in my system.
 
Create a new mail profile using Control Panel->Mail Icon->Profiles->New.

Transferring .pst files is as easy as using a USB stick to copy the .pst
file from the old computer and pasting in the Users->Documents Folder. Then
point Outlook at the file to open it and start using it.
