Vista problem for Outlook contacts

Using Vista Easy Transfer, I migrated all my files from my XP laptop (running Office 2003) to my new Dell laptop (running Office 2007).
Everything went fine, except I don’t have any address book when I attempt to send an email from Outlook. All my contacts came across in the transfer, but they don’t appear in an address book.
When I attempt to designate a Contacts folder (via the properties dialog box in the contacts folder) as an Outlook address book, the check box to allow this is greyed out – and under the Administration tab in the same properties dialog box, it appears that no one is allowed access (nothing is checked, but this is also greyed out).
When I have installed Office 2007 on other machines, still running XP, all works OK – so it appears the problem is Vista based. Any solutions??

Hi Mary, have you set outlook as the default mail client?

Mary I do not have any contacts in my outlook address book but using the menu I do in in the contact folder.I also played around with the options and deleted the file with no way to get it back( had to restore the whole OS). Outlook 2007 also does not support personal address books anymore so you may need to manually transfer MAPI to your new outlook.
