Default address book empty although contacts folder populated

Outlook XP had a blip and although the contacts folder is poulated with
contacts the address book has no entries, there is no listing for contacts or
global address list and when composing an email clicking on the "TO" box
shows no contacts.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled out look and also done a detect and
repair - any ideas how to fix this?

I have the same problem when using an ldap server. All the setting are
correct and 100 others are using it, but this one user has no display of the
names?

I had the same problem earlier, if the link Brian provided is invalid
because they contact lists are already configured, then it is the same
problem I had. I fixed it by doing the following:
Edit your user profiles, instead of adding a new address book, delete the
"Outlook Address book" your contacts should stay, mine did anyway, you can
then immediately click the new button and the wizard will allow you to create
a new "Outlook address book" click apply ok and exit Outlook. Start it back
up and go through the process of registering your address book as detailed
at : http://support.microsoft.com/?id=287563 and when you next click on you
address book button the address book should be populated.
