Address Book
Greetings!
Had to re-install Windows 98 a couple of nights ago and as I restore my work I find that all documents, spreadsheets, etc. that I created have survived. However, the address book software has not retrieved all of my contact info. Would the re-installation of Windows 98 SE have obliterated all of the data contained within address book? If not and it is "hidden" in some way from me, can I save and/or retrieve it in any intelligible form? Thank you. I hope someone can help. Perry |

Reformat or reinstalled? Do you have separate data partitions? -- Sincerely, | (©) (©) | ------ooo--(_)--ooo------ Andrew H. Carter | /// \\\ d(-_-)b | |
