G'day - I posted this in Computer Talk forum, but have a suspicion that many more read Kitchen Table than do Computer Talk,  So here it is again :-

Computer running Win 7 and for Email  - Windows Live Mail.

Recently wanted to edit a contact, but clicking on 'contacts' on lower left brings a blank screen.  There should be an alphabetical list of a couple of hundred!

If I want to do an email, clicking on 'To:' brings up the full selection, but just found that one cannot edit or delete in that area.

If someone can tell me what to do to re-instate the "contacts" list, I would be grateful.

TIA
