My Outlook Express just decided I don't have an address book!?!?

[Jordismom91]

HELP! I upgraded to Outlook 2003 (it asked me to re-install and it seemed
like a good time to do it). Now I have two outlooks, and no address book in
either place. The file I located is corrupted, and I can't access anything in
it. Can anyone offer any suggestions?
Thanks!

Note that moving from Outlook Express to Outlook is not an upgrade; they are
different products which can co-exist.

If you've never used Outlook before there won't be anything in there but you
can use Export from within OE to copy all your data to Outlook. If OE had
issues you won't solve this by (re)installing Outlook. You'll first have to
get OE working correctly then.

To get support on OE use the following newsgroup;

Good Luck!
