How to Restore Outlook 2003 Address Book
The Outlook 2003 address book includes all of the contacts and email addresses of your friends or co-workers that you have saved on your Outlook account. If you have transferred your Outlook address book from one client to another or the address book becomes corrupted, you may get the error message "The address list could not be displayed." However, the information for your contacts is still there, even if the address book is corrupted. You can restore the information by recreating the address book in Outlook 2003.
