You must have migrated from IMO mode. That's never a good idea. In place
upgrades from Outlook IMO mode do not work.
You'll need to create a new Outlook profile from scratch and configure it to
use the Outlook Address Book.

Describe more accurately and completely what you did and how you migrated
your Outlook data.
