If the Business Contact Manager mongrel of a software package is being used
or has been installed on the computer along with Outlook, the missing
contacts folder may well be tied into that. This happened to me. I
eventually had to delete my BCM version and that solved a number of
gremlins. I had to import the contacts of mine into Outlook from BCM and I
cannot remember how to do it. That would mean that once you found the trick
it was easy.
I swore lots when I realised what was going on...

Greetings from Hungry Head West -- just to the north-east a little of Outer
Quambatook .... and not all that far, really, as the crow flies, from
Inner Manangatang... (that busy little railway town)...
Are you able to tell us if you managed to get that address book data back to
make contact again with your family in these areas?
Guess what? I have a friend who wants to try the same impossibility! Any
good news ? Incantations? Spells ? Effective curses?
