Outlook Contacts can not use my address book

I have the same problem as "frustrated" posted on 5/11/10. I am using Outlook
2007 and used our home network to import my outlook contacts/ emails onto my
brand new laptop from an old desktop using outlook 2003. Is there really not
a fix for this and I have to re-enter my contacts in the address book to use
"to, cc, bcc or distibution lists"? Here is "frustrated" issue ( and mine):

When I click "To" I do not see my contacts like I used to.

I right clicked on contacts, properties and the box all of the forums said
to check was greyed out.

Following another lead I went to Tools, Account Settings, Address Books and
attempted to "remove" the "Outlook address book" to add it again. However,
"remove" is greyed out and not an option. The only option I see is to "add a
mobile address book". However even then I cannot delete the Outlook address
book.
