I went to "my contacts", right clicked "Contacts", and checked the box to
"show this folder as an email address book" . When I draft a new email, press
te "to" button, and click the drop-down box to select email addresses from y
contacts folder, there are two of them there, one has my contact information
in it, the ther one ive me an error "the address list could not be displayed.
the contacts folder associated with this address ist could not be
opened...etc."  Why do I appear to have two contacts folders in the addres
list, but I only have one that I see and use regularly in the My Contacts
area?

I fixed my problem. I had to delete the Outlook address book, then add it
back, then go to the properties of my contact and recheck the box to make it
visbile in the addressbook again. I guess that sort of reset everything and
got rid of that phantom contacts folder.
