contacts in outlook don't show

[Fernando]

I installed Office XP then I imported the mail from Outlook
2000, everything went fine. I open outlook and open a new
mail, I press the TO button option in order to put the
email address for the mail, then I press the down arrow to
choose the email address, there is nothing in there. I know
I have contacts list, also I am able to create and save new
contacts and I can see the contact list, but when I go
again to try to put the email address by pressing the TO
button in the new mail and pressing the down arrow still
nothing.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Fernando
