No change, problem still there. I'm using exchange server does this affect the problem? Also using VISTA PRO 32 Thanks > The "file" is not corrupt. The profile is.

There would be no need to remove it unless it wasn't working, in which case you must create a new profile to restore it.

How did you migrate your Data file to the new profile? Are you saying that the profile contains the Outlook Address Book in Tools > Account Settings > Address Book and yet the properties for your default Contacts Folder do not allow you to select it as an electronic address book?
