Default "Lost" address book

Try making a clearer post. What "fixes" did you try and why? There are none
that would have you try to add your email account to your profile again.
What settings did you "enter manually" for your address book? There are no
such settings that would help.
Provide the precise steps you used to migrate your data to the new
installation.
Provide the precise steps you used to configure the address book service.
Then someone might be able to figure out what your problem is. Here are some
guidelines on how to make posts in a newsgroup that will permit others to
provide assistance:

I recently upgraded to Vista and Outlook 2007. I did not lose any data in
the process, but I have been unable to link my Outlook email address book
with my contacts.

I have reviewed the fixes I was able to find in previous posts. I closed
Outlook, went to Control Panel-Mail-Email Accounts. I tried first to add
my
email account automatically. However, it returned an error message
indicating it could not find the server settings (encrypted). It gave me
the
option to try unencrypted settings, which I tried, no luck.

I was able to add the address back in by entering the settings manually.
However, when I go to the address books tab in the Mail Setup window, and
click on change, there is no address book shown. I get the message
telling
me to make a change in the contacts properties folder. However, when I go
there, the option to show the Contacts as an email address book is still
greyed out.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
