Lost contact list
Just upgraded to XP Home with many problems and am finding solutions to most.
When I open my mail everything seems OK. I am set up to check mail manually. All my previous contacts are still im my list. Before when we switched identies, the contact list stayed the same for all users. Now the contact list is usually gone when we switch users. Ocassionally the list in there. When the list is empty and you try to add a name it will report that the contact already exists. Thanks Kelly Ohio Dell 4100 40G, 19G available 512 RAM |

Hello,
I recently upgraded to IE7, and as soon as I did that, I no longer had access to outlook express! How do I retrieve this, as I no longer have access to my email.

Why don't you have access? No QuckLaunch Toolbar shortcut, or do you want
the Mail icon on the IE7 Toolbar?

A couple more oddities. As I said sometimes the contact list will be there
and sometimes not. The address book always seems to be there however. Switching back and forth in identities sometimes works. Another thing, before XP when I was, for instance, using identity #2 and closed outlook express and then reopened, I would still be in identtiy #2. Now it always goes back to identity#1. It's been fun. Other problems, XP didn't install the right drivers for mouse, printer, modem, etc. Worked with MS tech for a couple of hours to even get to boot up and another time to get to shut down. Grrrrr.

Contacts for specific identities are all that you will see when you switch
identities unless the Contacts are also added to the Shared Contacts folder. Each identity normally only "sees" those contacts that are in the Shared Contacts folder and those that they created while working in that identity. To change the identity that is the default on opening use the menu, File/Identities/Manage Identities and define which identity should be used when the program is opened.

Jim, I wan't the one that mentioned IE7, I have IE6. I have done most of my
posting in XP general and have had decent results. I checked the option you mentioned about the default user when opening outlook. That's solved. Not like ME. Also had a post on photo editor and took care of that problem. Let me give you a little history. When I started out I had 40G with 11 used and 29 available. After the installation problems with XP not booting up except in safe mode, I contacted MS by phone and after an hour or so and a lot of tries he had me go in and change a .sys file to .old and then it booted finally. When I checked C: drive I noticed that I ended up with 30G used and 9 free. Wow. Later I talked to amother tech because my puter wouldn't shut down. After another hour or more, he said it was mainly a mouse and keyboard hardware conflict. Finally it shut down normally. I mentioned the loss of so much hard drive and he said that was created by the problems of the puter trying to boot. He sent me to check a box, allow system file to be shown, and search for files named (found) and delete them. There were about 36. I tried to delete one and it was too big for the recycle bin so I ended up using shift. I got 10G back. How do I find the shared contacts folder?

Hi Jim, I have been there and the share option is already ticked. So I
changed users and it is also ticked there. I also checked out that web site. I re-ran *.wab and there were two files. One default user and one for the second user. There were no addresses in the box but did an import for each and got a sucessful message. Closed and reopened outlook. Same problem. After switching a couple of times the contact list showed up. Checked 4 other users and they all had contacts. Grrrrr. 78 years old and trying. lol. How about a personal note. I see you were navy. My best friend joined in 1946 and became one of the youngest CPOs in the electronics field. He later taught college and started his own software company. Sadly missed by me.

Sorry, but I cannot reply by email nor answer email messages. I provide
time daily here in the newsgroups only. As pointed out earlier, you would have to open the address book while logged on to each applicable identity and copy/paste the contacts from any folders or groups that identity had created into the Shared Contacts folder so that they can be visible to all users, regardless of which identity is used when logged on. To do that, you might want to create a "standalone" WAB file as outlined he http://www.insideoe.com/files/wab.htm#wabexe Good luck. -- Jim Pickering, MVP, Windows Mail Apps https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/pr...8-1171988A62D6 Please deliver feedback to the newsgroup, so that others can be helped.

It's been fun. Other problems, XP didn't install the right drivers for mouse, printer, modem, etc. Worked with MS tech for a couple of hours to even get to boot up and another time to get to shut down. Grrrrr.

And you should ask a question that you believe is related to an Internet Explorer upgrade in an appropriate newsgroup or remove the upgrade via Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs. To get an appropriate newsgroup on the web, click this link (or copy/paste it into your browser): http://www.microsoft.com/communities...orer. general I have a feeling that a lot more of this will be appearing now that IE7 is going "Gold".
