Default Outlook 2002. address book missing, reinstalled Home XP

Thanks for the quick response. Sorry I was too brief. Here's the
longer version.
The Ice Caps were melting faster than my computer so I had to have
the Home XP OS reinstalled. I had the C drive backed up. The Tech
that did the work put all my original data beck in a folder called
Old Data. After I reinstalled all my programs including Outlook 2002.
I couldn't find my email so I went back to the Tech and he found my
email in a hidden file; he then placed it into a Personal Folder in
Outlook. I was able to drag all my sub-folders from the PF into the
new In Box. However, the program won't alow me to move the Contacts
file and I can't find the Address Book.
All the email addresses are in the Contacts file so I just need to
find out if I can move the namea & email addresses into the new
address book.
I've printed out the information that you directed me to and will try
to figure it out tonight. Thanks, Larry


Why are you using a new PST if you already have your old one? Use the Mail
applet in Control Panel to configure your delivery location to be your old
PST and then remove the new one the reinstallation of Outlook created and
you'll be back exactly as you were before the mess started.
