When I try and export my address book there are no programs or file types
listed but when I look on someone else's they have, Microsoft Exchange
Personal Address Book and Text file (CSV).

any ideas how I can get mine?

Do you have this Registry key?...

HKEY_CURRENT_USER
\Software
\Microsoft
\WAB
\WAB4

If not, STOP; If so, is there a DWORD named UseOutlook and is its value set
to 1 (one)?

If not, STOP; If so, Address Book is configured to share contacts with
Outlook, even if you don't use it (can happen with the install of Office).
Change the value to 0 (zero) and all should be well. (If that DWORD is not
present, don't create it, and don't alter any other DWORD values.)

Note that any changes (additions, deletions, edits) made while sharing was
enabled will *not* be available (displayed) in Address Book when sharing is
disabled.
