Default Outlook 2003 contacts view problem

The contact view in Outlook 2003 is not correct. When you open a contact and
look under the General Tab instead of seeing:

Full Name
Job Title
Company
Files as

Phone Numbers
Business
HOme
Business Fax
Mobile


Addresses
Business

You see...

Last (G):__someone's last name__ First (M): someone's first name
Company: some comapny name

Department
Job
Files As

Phone Numbers
Business
Home
Business Fax
Mobile

Addresses

Business
Zipcode (Z):
State (D):
City (O):
Streeet (B):
Country (N):

I would think this is a view setting but I can't find it. Can you tell me
how to set it back to defaults?

Thanks

Did you create a custom form? Do you have Business contact manager
installed?

Can you post a screenshot online so we can see it? If you need a place to
post it, xsolive.com has an outlook screenshot library.

Ok. It's definitely a custom form. Do you use any add-ins that might affect
contacts? Right click on the contacts folder, choose properties - the
General tab will have a box for 'use this form when posting to this
folder' - what is the name of the form? IPM.Contact is the default form.

Yes, the "when posting to this folder, use:" is IPM.Contact.

I did not add any add-ins. I tried system restore on 29/08/2008 and it was ok,
however it went back on 06/09/2008. when I click on system restore again I
notice that "printer driver microsoft office document image writer installed"
was installed on 06/09/2009, 2330hr.

That's the correct form for Outlook. Are you using Business Contacts
Manager?

I've tried repaired, and also uninstall and reinstall again. It still the
same. What could be the problem here?
