Address books not accessable from "To" CC" or "BCC" boxes

I can't seem to access my adress books from the address area of a new e-mail.
I ahve tried to go to the address bock anc acct. setting under the "tools'
but to no avail. It shows the "Outlook Address book" there and won't let me
add it. Also, when I go to the respective tabs for each of my address books
the box to "show address books" is grayed out.

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 this is grayed out...

Go to Tools | Email Accounts, choose View or change existing directories or
address book. Is the Outlook Address Book present? If it isn't listed, add
it and close and restart Outlook. If it is listed, then remove it and close
then restart Outlook and repeat these steps to add it.

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.
