Add the Outlook Address Book Service to your profile.
I'll assume you know how since you did not provide your Outlook version.

Sorry it is Outlook 2003. I am not sure how to add the Outlook Address Book
service to the profile.
Thanks, John

Tools | Email Accounts | Add a new directory or address book.
Restart Outlook.
Then make sure your Contacts Folder is enabled as an email address book.
