Contacts not listed when I click Contacts in Nav Pane

[geistman]

Running Outlook 2003. When I click on the Contacts yellow button in the
Navigation Pane, the Contacts page does not appear; whatever is currently
being viewed stays on screen, or the Calendar appears. I can right-click on
the Contact button, select Open in a New windows, and the contacts will
appear in the new window. Also, under My Contacts at the top of the Nav Pane,
Calendar is listed, not Contacts. Also, if I double-click on a contact to
open his datacard and then click on the Address Book button to the right of
the email address, I get an error message "The address lis 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.
For information on how to remove this folder from the Outlook Address Book,
see Microsoft Office Outlook Help." I have tried a couple of fixes from
online help and the Knowledge Base, but have not been able to correct this
problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am thinking of uninstalling
Outlook and then reinstalling it -- might that help? Thanks in advance.
