Thanks, Russ, however, none of those links seem to have answer to my
issue.

This seems ridiculous that I can see all my contact I just can't use them.
I don't want to start a new profile without knowing the ins and outs of
how
that process works. The saftey and functionality of my e-mail is the most
important issue and if I was to lose that I would have to fold my
business....

Why wouldn't microsoft point this issue out before I spent $ on an
upgrade... Oh, wait...

This is a complete pain, and now my $200 upgrade to 7 is going to cost
$300
once I call my IT guys... Thanks to ms for another productivity sucking
issue.

Creating a new profile has NO effect on any existing data whatsoever.
However, in ALL cases backup first, just in case you are the first person
ever to which creating a new profile DOES affect your data...
