Is my Contact Folder Currupt?
Because of experiencing profile issues for one of our users, I deleted the user of the active directory, after which I re-created the user with the same name in the active directory. Prior to leaving the user, I backed up the e-mail folders by copying two a backup file. Upon restoration and creating a new user style and the outlook program, everything worked fine except for my contacts I had a 1030 contacts but each of them show as a great outline with no text. If I try to double-click on the contact, it opens up a new e-mail with the contact Maine and the "to:" field.
If I add a new contact, it will show correctly. All of my current contact show up as empty items. When I open it up on the exchange server using notepad, the format is identical to a normal contact item.
Could anyone help?

Used the Repair tool, and it did.'t work either. However, I was able to convert the contacts from the .ost file into a .pst and import them into the user's contact list. thanks for your halp.
Remember to back them up in email form. Works great for me, this way i can also email people my contacts.
