There will be a folder on your C drive called windows.old. All your previous data is in there. Find the pst file then use the methods to restore it that are posted here daily. Do NOT import the data. However, DO YOU NEVER TAKE A BACKUP BEFORE PERFORMING SUCH A CRITICAL PROCEDURE? You are lucky that the upgrade process actually saves your data for you. |

How can I restore deleted contact list when upgrading from Vista?
Do you have your old mail in outlook? If so, see below.
If you have Contacts in the Contacts folder but they are not accessible when you click on the To button, check these settings: Make sure the Contact folder is enabled as an email address book. Right click the Contacts folder, choose Properties then Outlook Address Book. Is the box to enable as email address book is checked? If this is grayed out... Go to Tools | Email Accounts, choose View or change existing directories or address book. Is the Outlook Address Book present? If it isn't listed, add it and close and restart Outlook. If it is listed, then remove it and close then restart Outlook and repeat these steps to add it. If you are using Outlook 2007 and the the checkbox is grayed, you'll need to make a new profile as you can't add the Outlook Address Book service due to a bug. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com/ Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: How many email accounts are in your main Outlook profile? http://forums.slipstick.com/showthread.php?t=36602 "movalb" wrote in message ...

My understanding is that Windows 7 should upgrade Windows Vista without losing data or prpgrams. It is the upgrade from Windows XP to 7 thta created the windows.old directory. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
