Hi,

I had a problem with my outlook an it asked me to select Detect and Repair
under the Help menu, which I did. I chose to restore factory settings. Having
done so I lost all the settings. I was able to find my stored messages and
settings but seem to have lost my Contacts! Do you know where I could find
them or if I could restore in some way?

Thx

Andrew
 
Just find the data file you were using before and open it. Search for *.pst
and include hidden files when you do.

My outlook has dropped my contacts. I did a search and can find the pst
files but when I try to import them into my Outlook contacts, it tells me the
source and destination files are the same.

How do I get them back to the correct location to use when sending emails.

Thanks for your help.
 
Why would you import Outlook data? This is an Outlook data file already.
Just open it.
Here are the instructions:
File > Open > Outlook Data File...
Pretty simple.
