contacts folder contents not recognised in ms outlook

[Jiebby]

The following dialog pops up each time I want to access my contact folder to
write a new mail: [The address list could not be displayed. The Contacts
folder associated with this address list could not be opened; it may have
been moved or deleted, or you do not have permissions.] My contacts are still
intact in the contacts folder.

Click Tools>E-mail Accounts>View or change existing directories or address
books>Next. Select Outlook Address Book and click Next. Remove the bogus
contact folder reference.
