The Contacts Pane may appear empty if the number of contacts in the Address
Book exceeds 999.

Can't tell when this happened. No new software other than some Microsoft
updates. No new
software whatsoever. No viruses.

The contact list says:

"There are no Contacts to display."


Yet, if I click on ADDRESS BOOK or do START - RUN - wab /a

The address book is still intact.

If I type an email address in a new email, the autocomplete finds said
address book entry.

The contact pane (lower left), is gone . Yes it is checked in Layout
I have reinstalled and reboot no luck!

Any suggestions?
thanks
