The windows XP pro crashed and barley I backed up the Outlook from the user.

Now after formatting the HD and installing XP and coping the "Archive" or
"outlook.pst" which was not easy, I was able to get the emails back but
not "Address book"

No matter what I do with import export, I just can not bring back the
"Address Book"

Anyways after playing allot I was able to bring it or convert it into
"Contact" and from there some how I was able to see it in "Address. Book"

My question if you please is:

What is the correct procedure to install and restore the "Outlook" including
the Address book if all you have is "Outlook's" or "Archive.pst"?

Thanks.
 
You didn't mention what version of Outlook is being used, but if Outlook
2002/2003 you need to add the Outlook Address Book service to the profile
and make sure that the contact folder is marked to be used. You can add the
Outlook Address Book service to the Outlook profile via Tools > Email
Accounts in Outlook. From there, just right click on the Contact folder and
select properties > outlook address book tab to mark the folder to be used.
