Vista - My contacts vs. address book

If anyone has figured this out, please share with me:

Problem 1) There is no autocomplete in outlook. It worked perfectly in
2003 version. Instead of going to contacts for the info, it goes to address
book and nothing is there. I have only spent a hour on vista but it is
maddening to me so far.

Probelm 2) Everything looks different in Outlook, I can't figure it out,
the type is smaller, everything is off and I don't know what to do to get it
back. All of the fonts looks different and now it hurts my eyes. I am using
the same monitor as before so ?<&*%$#@ UGH

Thanks for your help. I get to pull my hair out more tomorrow.

What version of Outlook? I suggest you post to the Outlook newsgroup.
Good, knowledgeable folks there. Look at the newsgroups under
microsoft.public.outlook.

place to post. I will try posting in that.

For MS apps for which there are separate newsgroups, those newsgroups are
agnostic when it comes to the underlying OS. So Outlook issues, whether
Vista or XP, go to the outlook newsgroup, same with internet explorer
issues. Sometimes it is an OS issue so Crossposting might be appropriate,
but in general just because it's running on vista when the issue happens
doesn't mean it belongs in the Vista OS newsgroup.

Loll, it takes a bit of time and experience to know which is the best
newsgroup for certain issues. Good luck.
