Who Moved my Lipstick - Computer Problems

Lately Matt and I had some computer issues. It wasn't a real bad thing (mostly b/c we have a billion comps in our house) but my system got so fried that I had to reformat and reinstall windows. This caused my outlook express to lose everything that was previously saved in it. So I no longer have everyone's email addresses nor any other info that was previously in my outlook express. beating my computer with a baseball bat seems like a good idea but it is actually working now. If any of you receive strange requests lately it is just me trying to slowly recover my system.
