Outlook 2007 (Vista) won't search Contacts

Since I migrated from XP & Outlook 2003 to Vista & Outlook 2007, the "Search
Address Books" on the Mail section of Outlook cannot seem to find them. When
I try to add "Contacts" or changed the name to "Friends," the "Show this
folder as an address book" under Properties is grayed out, whether I run as
an administrator or not.

I have struggled with this for two months and have not been successful. I
have seen it referenced a number of times, but the suggestions (as I have
interpreted them) have not worked.

I would be grateful for suggestions, especially of the non-humiliating
variety.

PS If it has to do with my "profile" for some reason I just do not know how
to do this.
 
Try making a new profile. Control panel, Mail... set your current pst as
the default delivery location before opening outlook with the new profile.
 
Thanks, still no joy. Actually Control Panel>User Accounts>Mail.

But that did not work. I know .pst is a suffix, but I do not know what my
"current pst" is. When I made the new profile (old is "Outlook," new "kpo"),
nothing was in the file called "Contacts." (I assume because I did not set
the pst correctly.)

I will go back and see if I can figure it out.

use the detailed view in windows explorer and go by the date on the pst (if
you have several) and the file size.
