Our computer froze, and Gateway tech support had us reinstall the Windows XP
Pro OS. They said we wouldn't lose ANY files, but it looks like email &
contacts are totally gone from Outlook. Is there any way I can recover them?
Thanks!

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:
