Are you referring to your Outlook Express Address Book or your Outlook Address Book?
If it's your Outlook Address Book, do a search for .PAB
To add your Outlook Address Book
1.) On the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.
2.) Under Directory, click Add a new directory or address book, and then click Next.
================================================== =====
If it your Outlook Express Address Book, do a search for .WAB
To import your Outlook Express Address Book
1.) On the File menu, point to Import, and then click Address Book.
2.) Select the address book or file type you want to import, and then click Open.

Hi,
As Theoran said.
If it is Outlook Express:
The WAB usually lives in:
C:\Windows\Application Data\Microsoft\
Address Book\<username>.wab
See if the 'Address Book' folder is there and if any files are in there.
Another way to find your Address Book files , do a FIND:
In windows Explorer--Tools-Find--Files or Folders.
In the "Named' box, type in:
*.wab
In the 'Look in' box, set it to look in 'Drive C'.
You can also do a FIND for :
*.wa?
Also, goto Start--Run and type in:
WAB
Does your Address Book open with any contacts in it?
Also,Is your 'Contacts'- Address book missing from within OE:
In OE click on 'View' in the top tool bar, then click 'Layout'
Choose the options you want.
The 'contacts' option puts the Contacts back under the Folders Menu tree.

I found them. I had installed Incredimail and when I uninstalled it took everything with it. Just installed again to check and see and sure enough! Thanks for replys though.
BUT...! I actually do have another question(you guys are going to get sick of me...lol!)
Question....
Is there any way to speed up my downloads? I am using Download Accelerator right now. Pretty much like it but, right now my speed is at 3.1kb/sec
I am using a dial-up so its slow anyway but this is REAL slow.
Any suggestions?
Your the best!
