Two contacts lists in Outlook

This is weird problem that is driving me batty. In Outlook XP I seem to have
two address lists, both named Contacts. I see this when composing a new
message and clicking the To button - the Select Names dialog, at the top,
has a drop-down list called "Show Names from the". This list has "Outlook
Address Book" at the top and then "Contacts" listed twice underneath.
Depending on which Contacts I select I get a slightly different list of
names to select from.

However, when I open Contacts in the folder list I see entries in only one
of the Contacts address books - the second Contacts seems unaccessible. I'd
like to get rid of the extra address list but do not know how.

Thanks,
 
The easiest fix for this is to remove the Outlook Address book, restart
Outlook, add it back in, then restart Outlook again.
