Hi I have windows 98 installed on my computer. I did not do any microsoft updates for some time. I decided to run a update, it found many patches and updates that I needed so I ran them. After they have been downloaded and the computer has been restarted everything was fine until I decided to open up Outlook. It seems that it downloaded a new version of Outlook and all my old messages, contacts and info has been deleted. Without this info I am doomed as I need it for my work. Anyway help will be life saving. Thanks Geoff
