Default Missing contact list

I've been given a new work pc; its been set up; I can open Outlook, send
messages, see my personal contacts in the contact folder etc. However
although I can see my list of contacts when I come to send an email and click
on the To: button and the list of contacts is brought up my personal contact
list is missing (there is an item called contacts but its empty) Its a fairly
big list and I really don't want to have to create it from scratch

Help!

Show the folder list of outlook.

Right click the Contacts Folder and select Address Book then check the box
to show as an Outlook Address Book.

I hope this helps you at least a little bit! If it doesn't work, come back
and tell me which version of Outlook you have.

Add the Outlook address Book to your profile first. Tools | Accounts |
Address Book tab in OL 2003 and 2007. Sometimes you need to remove and
re-add the OL Address book.
