Outlook 2000 reinstall uses .wab instead of Contacts from .pst

J

Recently had to reformat HD & reinstall everything. OS is XP Home Edition. I
had backed up my .pst file before reinstalling, and after reinstalling Office
2000, I told Outlook to OPEN my saved .pst file. Everything looked OK, but
when I start a new email message & click on the TO button, the .wab address
book comes up instead of my Contacts info. If I select the Contacts folder in
the Folder pane, right-click then choose Properties, then select "Outlook
Address Book", it shows "Contacts", but the check box "Show this folder as an
e-mail address book" is grayed out (but there is a check mark in it), and
"Name of the address book" is shown as "Contacts", but it is also grayed out.

Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
