Hi

I had to reinstall Windows XP (clean install), so I backed up Outlook using
the Backup Addon application. After reinstalling XP and Outlook, I replaced
the new outlook.pst file with my renamed backup file, as described on the
Microsoft website:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA010875321033.aspx
(scroll down to the Troubleshoot Personal Folders Backup   ->  I created a
backup copy of my file and now I need to use it.
          -> "Your entire .pst file"
After doing this everything seemed fine, until I tried to use my address
book on an email. Whenever I try to open the adress book, I get the
following error window: "The address list could not be displayed. The
Contacts folder associated with this address list could not be opened; it
may have been moved or deleted, or you do not have permissions. For
information on how to remove this folder from the Outlook Address Book, see
Microsoft Outlook Help".

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Chris
