| | Reinstalled Vista and lost my email messages and contacts I reinstalled Vista today because Internet Explorer suddenly stopped working after Windows Updates were installed. I inadvertantly lost all of my email messages and my Contacts. Any advice on retrieving them, or am I out of luck? |

| | Re: Reinstalled Vista and lost my email messages and contacts Unless you formatted the hard drive, a new install of Vista will save all your old data in a folder called Windows.old. Look for that folder. If you find it, look inside for \Users\username\Contacts and \Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail. You may have to fix your Folder Options in order to see hidden files. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (WLMail) "Nelson Family" <piercecath@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:%234s81ednIHA.3940@xxxxxx Quote: >I reinstalled Vista today because Internet Explorer suddenly stopped working after Windows Updates were installed.
