A recent motherboard issue has forced me to go to my laptop. fortunately my hard drive was undamaged. Now I need to move my Windows Mail contacts to my Windows Live on the laptop. I copied all of my Windows Mail files to a folder on my laptop desktop but it won't import the contacts. I'm not concerned about the e-mails - I can go to the external and read those but I need the contacts. I have a backup for my Windows Mail but that is not helping.

I am using Windows 7 on a 64 bit computer.

Suggestions please???
