I reset mycomputer and lost my contacts! Help how can I retreive

[pretyk]

I had to reset my computer and I did not relaize that in putting it back
tots orginal settings I would lose my long list of contacts? I called MS but
they say pay $50.00 to try to find out. I think they have my contacts in a
folder on thier site since outlook is part of Microsoft. Please help me
retreive it.

What does reset your computer mean?
Where do you back up your data?

If you set your PC back to factory settings, you've lost EVERYTHING. All your
installed programs, all your documents, e-mail, everything. Why does that
surprise you?
