Hey guys, I switch my wife from a 20 lbs laptop to the msi wind, got everything copied over, however in outlook her auto populate works , but only with recent addresses, all the other addresses are in the address book but will not auto populate? and Ideas on this one?

Thanks

It's a hidden file named Outlook.NK2
It's location is a hidden system folder underneath the users profile, the path depends on the OS, for example, on my Vista 64 rig I'm typing from,
C:\Users\BMayo\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.NK2

Copy it from the old computer, past it into the matching directory on the new computer...overwriting the existing one.
