Trying to get my contacts to show up in the Address Book (when I press

Here is what I have. 3 folders (uncertain of the lingo) - Personal

When I go to Properties for each folder's Contacts folder and select
the 'Outlook Address Book' tab, the 'Show this folder as an email
address book' checked but grayed out in all three folders.
