I just upgraded from office 200 to 2007, all my contacs in outlook
disappeared. can i recover them?


Chances are your data is still there. The installation of Outlook 2007
creates a new (usually broken) mail profile and new, empty PST. Use the
Mail applet in Control Panel to create a new mail profile and connect it to
the original PST. See this: http://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/newprofile.htm
.. Define your accounts in the Mail applet as well (also described on the
cited web page). At your leisure, convert your original PST to the new
Unicode format so you never run into size limitations. See this:
