How do I recover contacts email after I have installed Outlook 200

[Guest]

My outlook was not working. I did not have the disk to fix the problem. I
bought Outlook 2003 to "update" my Outlook. Now, I lost my emails, stored
files, and contacts. I need to recover them.

How do I do this

Upgrading a corrupt installation in an attempt to repair is a good way to
make the problem worse.
Most likely Outlook created a new PST file.
Search for your old one and open it in Outlook to retrieve your data.
