True enough. But apparently it looks for an Address Book and uses those
Contacts for email lookup. Before I reinstalled Vista, I exported my Outlook
contacts and imported them as Vista Contacts. Then I could look up those
email addresses in Outlook2000.

All I know is it was working this time too until today. Now Contacts
doesn't work even in the Contacts folder. And Outlook2000 won't send out an
email with a valid address since Contacts broke down.

BTW, I used a Restore point prior to the last email I sent out successfully.
Restore worked fine. But Contacts still doesn't work. Something broke in
Vista Contacts. Can't say what tho.
