Outlook Contacts & Office Themes
I am running Windows 7 and I just upgraded my MS Office from Office 2010 to Office 2013. There are two things that I can't figure out:
1. In Outlook, when I go to my Contacts (now called "People") there are two different Contacts lists in my folder bar along the left side of the screen. One has my username in parentheses next to it, and it's blank - no entries. The other one has my contacts and works just fine. Outlook defaults to the empty one, which I can't delete, forcing me to click on the other one every time I want to go to "People". It's just a minor annoyance, but if there's a way to get rid of the other "People" folder I would appreciate it.
2. Office comes with three available "Themes", all either boring or annoying (or both). White, Grey, and Dark Grey ... what were they thinking? Is there any way to adjust the colors to make them more interesting?
Thanks,
Phil

Make a sure and certain backup of your PST files (all of them). Make a note of your email accounts as well.
Now close Outlook, go to Control Panel, Mail and delete the Outlook profile.
Find SCANPST in the Outlook Program Files folder and run SCANPST against your mail file to see if it finds errors.
Restart the computer (to be on the safe side), open Outlook and allow it to make a new profile and account. When that is done, open your PST file and see if the extra Contact folder has gone.
