Default Outlook Contacts can not use my address book

There doesn't appear to be an opportunity to create a new profile in Windows
7. Microsoft help only covers Vista and earlier for Profiles.

If you have Contacts in the Contacts folder but they are not accessible
when you click on the To button, check these settings:

Make sure the Contact folder is enabled as an email address book. Right
click the Contacts folder, choose Properties then Outlook Address Book.
Is the box to enable as email address book is checked?

If you are using Outlook 2007 and the the checkbox is grayed, you'll
need to make a new profile as you can't add the Outlook Address Book
service due to a bug.

I have the same problem as "frustrated" posted on 5/11/10. I am using
Outlook
2007 and used our home network to import my outlook contacts/ emails
onto my
brand new laptop from an old desktop using outlook 2003. Is there
really not
a fix for this and I have to re-enter my contacts in the address book
to use
"to, cc, bcc or distibution lists"? Here is "frustrated" issue ( and
mine):

When I click "To" I do not see my contacts like I used to.

I right clicked on contacts, properties and the box all of the forums
said
to check was greyed out.

Following another lead I went to Tools, Account Settings, Address Books
and
attempted to "remove" the "Outlook address book" to add it again.
However,
"remove" is greyed out and not an option. The only option I see is to
"add a
mobile address book". However even then I cannot delete the Outlook
address
book.
