Default Addresses in Outlook Address Book not being recognized

The box is selectable and checked ... Yes, "Contacts" is showing in the "Name
of the address boodk:" block ....

None of the addesses in my Contacts folder are showing when I try to send an
email and click on the "To:" button ... I opened one of the entries and, yes,
the email address is underlined ... When I dbl-clk on the address, I see the
entry name with the email addr in parens; the email address in the next
field; in the E-mail type field, SMTP is showing but grayed; in the Internet
format: field, "Let Outlook decide..." is showing ....

Nothing shows when I click on the interface dropdown ... When I go to the
next step, there are two files, both named Contacts showing -- The first one
is blank; the 2nd one shows my addresses .....

Is the box selectable or is it grayed out?

Open your Contacts folder and open one of the contacts that you believe isn't
showing properly in the Address Book interface. Examine the E-mail field. Is
the adddress underlined? If you double-click the address, what do you see?

If you open the Address Book interface and click the "Show names from the"
dropdown, can you find "Outlook Address Book" and under that, "Contacts"? If
you choose Contacts, do you not see the contact you examined in the prior
step?

What do you have selected in the "Show names from the" drop-down?
