I have this same problem as you do, and I also used the Easy Transfer
Wizards. Were you able to find a solution, the only thing I believe I
have left to try is a new install of Outlook.

Thanks, but that doesn't work.
1.) In Outlook 2007 when I select Tools/Account Settings and the Address
Book tab, Outlook Address Book is listed. The "Remove" button is greyed out.
If I click on the "Change" button, I get a pop up window that is empty,
showing no "Outlook Address Books". If I then click the "remove" button on
that screen, nothing happens.
If I close that window and return to the "Address Books" tab on the Account
settings window and select the "New" button, select "Additional Address
Books", click next and select "Outlook Address Book", I get an error message
saying that "This account or directory type already exists and cannot be
specified twice."

2.) When I select "Properties" on the Contacts folder and select the
"Outlook Address Book" tab, the checkbox for "Show thsi folder as an e-mail
AddressBook" is not checked, but it is greyed out so I can not check it.

Something must've gone wrong during the Easy transfer process. I need help
here.

Thanks!
-Jim

Easy transfer never configures your Outlook Address Book. You need to do
that for yourself, the same as always:

I have the same problem. I am using MS Office Standard 2007 on a Windows
Vista Home Premium OS. I used the "Easy Transfer for Windows Vista" when
I
installed Vista. All my emails, appointments and contacts show up fine.
However, somehow my Contacts are not linked with my address book. When I
attempt the fix that you describe, the check box for "show this folder as
an
email address book" is greyed out and I can not select it.

Any ideas?
Thanks,

Aloha vtotter,

What version of Outlook are you using?

Right-click the Contacts folder, go to Properties | Outlook Address Book
and check the box for "Show as E-mail Address Book."

I am helping an elderly couple set up Outlook so they can more easily
access
their emails. Unfortunately, when I go to compose a new email and hit
the
"to" button, the contact dialog box comes up, but there are no
contacts to
choose.
However, there are contacts in the address book.- Hide quoted text -
