I used a Belkin tansfer cable and software to migrate from XP-Outlook to
Vista Outlook-2007. The transfer was successful and all my contacts are now
in my Outlook-2007 "My Contacts". However, when going to the properties for
each folder in 'My Contacts' I cannot select "Show this folder as an e-mail
address book" (the display is shaded and will not let me select the box). I
will appreciate any help to solve this problem.
 
So are we to assume used some Windows based transfer utility with this
transfer cable?
If so, a quick search of this group would reveal to you that you cannot
transfer Outlook data that way because you end up with a corrupt profile.
Create a new profile from scratch and transfer data correctly: Open the data
file in Outlook and then set it as your default. Instructions have been
posted here many times.
