Guest franktee Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 Hi all No sure if this is the correct forum for this question. Lost all my Windows address book contacts, due to clean install on 2nd computer. Appreciate advice on how to transfer them from my other computer, short of retyping all the email addresses one at a time. Thanks in advance. franktee
