This information stores in .nk2 file.

THere are 3 chances:

Chance 1: Accidently .nk2 file got deleted. If yes, it may available in Recycle Bin and you can restore it. If that is not available there, no fix then. Location of .NK2 file is "C:\Documents and Settings\User_Profile\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook"

Chance 2: It has been disabled from Outlook by mistake. You can enable it. Follow steps mentioned in below link:

Chance 3: It has been disabled by your Administrator by Group Policy. If this is the case, no fix for this.

Outlook 2010 does not use a .nk2 file, in outlook 2010 the addresses are stored in some hidden autocomplete file.
