Default Address book Gone

I saw that there was an issue with one of the Microsoft patches that causes
problems with the Address Book in OE6, but it's not installed, so that's not
it.
Here's what's going on, it basicly says that there are no addresses, and
that there is nothing there. But, according to the size of the .wab, there
is stuff in there (about 1mb). I deleted it, and imported using the .wab~
backup, just to make sure the file wasn't corrupted. As it was importing, I
saw that it was pulling them in. I looked away for a moment, and when I
looked back, it said that there was nothing there again. Now, it it possible
for that file to get too big? I've got no clue as to what's going on right
now.

Try using the Start/Run line and type: WAB /a

Does that show all the contacts? See this link for more info:
