Default contacts don't show in Outlook '03 address book

Computer came up without Outlook one day. Dell techs got it back up but
contacts no longer show in address book. I have right clicked contacts,
properties, show this folder, etc. I also have Outlook address book
selected. When I click on address book it is blank. Clicking on the drop down
list shows a second contacts folder. Clicking on that brings up contacts. My
emails no longer autocomplete addresses. How can I change that second folder
to be the default contacts folder? Is there a way to rename the good contact
folder and remove the other? I've read other solutions but haven't found one
that works yet. Thanks for any help.

A lot of missing details here. "Computer came up without Outlook one day?"
And we're supposed to troubleshoot that from the distance of a newsgroup?
Please be realistic.
Provide some accurate reproducible details. Otherwise just follow the
countless posts we have provided on how to repair your Outlook Address Book
service.
We have no idea what "other solutions" you tried nor what happened when you
tried them. State them. Do not assume we can read your mind and do not
expect help when you force us to pry that information from you.

Sorry, I was not realistic. I was trying to be brief as suggested when
posting. Yes, one day when I opened up my computer Outlook was not there. I
don't know how to be more specific. That is exactly what happened. I am a
total beginner and tried to pose the question briefly without listing every
detail I went through. I think you could have responded to me without being
sarcastic.

Unfortunately, the fact remains there is no information here that would
allow anyone to help you. Brevity is not the objective here. Providing
accurate information is essential. You do not have to be an expert to simply
describe what happened and what you've tried so far to fix it. Here are some
good guidelines on how to post:
