I was having trouble with outlook. I ran the repair and restore function and
corrected the outlook problem. Unfortunately all of my contact information
previously on Outlook is now gone. Can this be retrieved?>

Most likely. If the repair process created a new profile, Outlook simply
created a new data file. Your old one should still be on your hard drive.
The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the
mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:

Did you have a question, or did you simply want to repost a question that
has already been answered?
