I believe the auto-complete function is based on previously used entries. If you have cleared out all previous entries, Outlook has no history to make any suggestions from.

Dear sir,

Thank you so much for this link. Now only i resolved this issue. Problem is a file name is called Stream_Autocomplete_0_39EC2E54B9DF1E45A65ED5A38EF8E538.dat. I just restore all contact by using nk2edit.exe file. This is the only effective method. Other methods doesn't work. Thank you so much sir. Working perfect.

You need to be adding these addresses to your "Contacts" which is separate from the Nick name list.
