Hey gurus

I've got all my Outlook XP stuff stashed away in a PST (Inbox, Contacts, Notes - everything.) I'm running a Pop-based, stand-alone installation (no Exchange server). The PST is on a local drive

My problem - I can't seem to get Outlook to know my Contact list is there. I've reset the left-hand-side shortcut to point to the PST-based contact list, so accessing it from the GUI isn't a problem. Wizards, dialog boxes and such however never show it as an option

Any tips/tricks to try and resolve the problem (system stats below)

Thanks in adavance

Have you configured your Outlook Address Book correctly?
