OK this is very weird. Just booted up my machine (Win XP Pro SP3, fully
updated, anti-virused, anti-spywared and anti-malwared to the hilt) and my
Outlook Express (6.00.2900.5512 (xpsp.080413-2105) address book has lost all
names/addresses from the letter "A" to "Q" - "R" to "Z" are still all there
OK, but A to Q have all gone.

This is my own personal computer and no-one else uses it, so I've never set
up "identities" or "users" or whatever - just boot up, open OE and start
using email.

What the hell has happened and where have they gone? Can I get them back?

TIA,

Pete
