can't recover my contacts

[Angie4277]

I installed windows 7 but had to recover files. I imported the back up
pst file but the contacts don't show up in outlook. (office 2007)
What could I be doing wrong?

Pretty much everything, it appears.
"Had to recover files" means what exactly?
There is no scenario in which you would ever import Outlook data to
"recover" it.
State precisely how you created your "backup" and how you transferred it to
your new installation.. Once you do, we can tell you what you did wrong.
