Default OFF2003 Contacts folder problem

OK. So I got my nickers in a twist.
the other day I figured it would be a good idea to be able to handle my mail
(running on my 'central' machine) also from a second machine I also use
frequently. On the second box I pointed Outlook to the .pst on drive x:
(shared disk on my main machine). In itself that worked ok, but I probable
made a stupid decision there. In order to be able to distinguish the two
'Personal Folders' I decided to name the one on the main machine MAIN
Personal Folders, while setting this up. Bad idea. Later on I decided I
didn't want this setup after all so I reverted, ie. I put the definitions on
second machine back to what they were. So far so good.
Now, however I ended up with Personal Folders on the main machine to still
be named (displayed) as MAIN Personal Folders.
Meanwhile I've been able on the main machine to get that back to be
displayed as simply Personal Folders, however (my problem) when I hit the TO
button in a new mail it tells me:
"The address list 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."
When I hit OK the Select Names box comes up, with "Show names from the"
Contacts (top right hand side) and the drop-down box there reveals Outlook
Address Book with *two* Contacts folders underneath, the first undisplayable
one with properties:
Personal Folders/Contacts
and the second one with:
Personal Folders/Contacts
conatining my contact information.

How can I get rid of the Contacts folder that apparently is faulty? (Office
Outlook Help hasn't been very helpful).

TIA

the (insert latest virus name here) virus, all mail sent to my personal
