I have a problem since switching to a new computer and installing Outlook
XP.
My address book entries are empty - yet all the e-mail addresses are in my
contacts (so that has come across - but not the address book/personal
folder.

If I try to (manually) add a new entry in the address book I get told ""A
new entry could not be added. Please use the contacts module to create this
entry"- and I have tried that - but I don't where in Contacts I can add a
contact to the address book.

So when I create a new e-mail message I am not able to click on the Äddress
Book"button and choose a name. Frustrating.

To convert to the new computer I copied outlook.pst from ...\Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook - so all the old messages and
the contacts came across - but not the address book.

Ideas ... suggestions ... please

You could not have your Contacts without having your personal folder, so all
your data is there.
There is no address book in Outlook. All data is stored in the Personal
Folder.
You just haven't configured your Address Book view yet.
