All of a sudden I see that my contact list has disappeared. The message
displayed is: There are no contacts to display. Click on Contacts to
create a new contact. There is no Contacts button - only Addresses ...
and when I clicked on that, I get nothing. I.e., there seems to be no
address list.

I tried to re-import the address book and got an OK but nothing had
changed.

I decided to go to some old saved email and right-clicked and selected
"Add sender to address book." The response I got was: The contact is
already in your address book.

What gives?

I can send mail to anyone using their name (i.e., David) - but I just
can't see the address list.

I did a System Restore to yesterday (when all was well), but nothing
changed.

It's almost as though my address book is not readable by Outlook
Express. Believe me, it is THERE!

Thanks for any help. I really hope it is not necessary to reinstall
Internet Explorer!
