Outlook 2000 can not see contact lists..

[terriern]

I recently had to reinstall my OUtlook 2000 because I had to run a recovery. I was able to retrieve all my emails and contacts, etc...

However, when I go to create a new email to send when I click the To: button, there are no lists to select from, even though my Contacts is full..
does anyone know why this might be and how I can resolve it?

Any assistance would be appreciated...Thanks!

Try this:
Open Outlook, go to tools, then open services.
Click on the addressing tab, and under "show this address list first", make sure Contacts is selected.
Under "keep personal addresses in", make sure contacts is again selected.
Lastly, in the last box, make sure contacts is at the top of the list if there are more than one preference listed.
Hope this helps.
