Why is "Suggest names while completing To, Cc, and Bcc fields" not working?

D

When I go to Tools >> Options >> E-Mail Options >> Advanced E-Mail Options,
the "Suggest names while completing To, Cc, and Bcc fields" check box is
checked as well as the "Automatic name checking" check box. But when I
begin to type a name, the auto-completion feature does not work.

When I go to Tools >> Address Book, I can see all my contacts and their
email addresses. However, in the Address Book dialog window, when I select
Tools >> Options (from the menu on the Address Book dialog), there is
something strange.

I can see two Contact address lists. I've selected the "Contacts" list with
the addresses in the two drop-down lists ("Show this address list first" and
"Keep personal addresses in:"), and removed the "phantom" Contacts folder
(which is empty) from the larger window below the drop-downs where you can
set the order for checking names (it still appears in the drop-downs,
however).

I'm wondering if somehow the Name Suggestion feature is still pointing to
the empty Contacts folder. Is there any way to fix this?

The addresses I've previously sent email to *do* auto-complete, just not the
rest of the addresses in my Contacts folder. I have tried deleting
Outlook.NK2 according to:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA011240661033.aspx
but still no luck.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Thanks in advance.
