Contacts not where they used to be

[Jeff]

Recently had to format hd...reloaed MS 2000 Pro., MS Office 2003 with
Outlook sp1. Saved all emial and addresses and restored all back to
where they were before the formating all except my contat list.
When I want to put an email address into an emial I click on the To:
area and get a message that the address book can not be displayed yet
all my addresses are there, listed in contacts. There are two contacts
groups listed one is empty like the address book and one of the contact
groups has all my info. How can I make that the default one or how can
I deleate the other blank contact group.
Thank you.
Jeff
