Contacts Problem in Outlook 2003

I use Outlook 2003 on a stand-alone computer and on boot up this morning my
contacts can no longer be viewed by clicking on Contacts in the navigation
pane.  In the Folder List I can see the Contacts folder and the contents are
visible when I click on that folder.

I have researched a number of possible fixes but I simply cannot get the
contacts to display via the Navigation Pane button for Contacts.  I have
checked to make sure that the Contacts properties are set to show the folder
as an e-mail address book.  I have deleted and added back the Outlook
Address Book with it pointing to Contacts: Personal Folders.  The only thing
I did not delete and reinstall was the Personal Address Book.

One other point of interest:  I have two subfolders under Contacts in the
folder list and those are displayed under My Contacts when I click on the
Contacts button in the Navigation pane, but the parent folder Contacts is
not shown.  Does anyone have a fix for this strange problem?

Aloha Bob N.,

Try restarting Outlook with the /resetwunderbar switch.

Hi, Ben,

Thanks for the reply.  I executed the run command with the full path to
outlook.exe in quotes, followed by /ResetWunderBar and I received the
following error message:

Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. The command line argument is not
valid. Verify the switch you are using.

Can you suggest anything else?
