Outlook 2007 not showing address book after uninstalling Zimbra

In outlook 2007, I want to use my standard, offline Outlook Contacts folder (in a PST file) as the address book. It was working fine before, but after I installed a trial Zimbra account it's screwed up.

"Show this folder as address book”" in the contacts folder is greyed out.

When I go to Tools->Account Settings->Address Books    it lists "Outlook Address Book" but shows it as a MAPI type, which I think is wrong. However, when I click "Change" it shows no address books and won't give me an option to change.

Help!

remove Outlook Address Book from your list of books and reinstall the address book after restarting outlook then check the box for show this folder as an address book.

Remove it where?
Tools - Email accounts - view or change existing directories or address books

After doing this restart Outlook and re add the Outlook Address Book back in, then go and check the check box.
Under "Address Book", it lists the "Outlook Address Book", but deleting it is not an option. If I click on it to change it, it shows no address books in the window. (Please see attached file.)

P.S. You know this is Outlook 2007, right?

That did it.

By creating a new Profile, then adding the old PST to the Profile in "Data File Management" the problem went away.

Well done!
Great to hear, I learned from this as well!.....:)
