Default How to retrieve address book contents

Are we to assume you did something? What?
Did you create a new Outlook installation?
If so, did you migrate your data to the new installation?
All your data will be where you last left it. The file you need is your
Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the mail, calendar, contacts
etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:

When I was unable to enter Outlook, I followed instructions - Outlook.exe,
Properties, in compatibility tab cleared run this program in compatibility
mode for check box, then clicked OK. When I reopened Outlook all my
e-mail,
calendar data and contents of address book were gone.

How do I recover them? Especially address book contents.
