Default Outlook 2003 Contacts list disappeared after upgrade to 2007

I just upgraded to office 2007 and now appear to have lost my contact list.
When I select "contacts" there is no one there. I was clicking around and
eventually found the contact list under "Personal Folders" but when clicking
that option I get an error that "the folders cannot be opened. The server is
not available. Cointact your exchange administrator if this condition
continues. This is my home computer. I really need to access my old
contacts. Help?

You performed you upgrade incorrectly and chose to create an Exchange account
rather than the account type you really want. Open the Mail applet in Control
Panel and us it to delet the Exchange account, add an account of the proper
type, then add your existing PST to the mail profile as your delivery
location.
