The file is called address.dat, but on your MemPlug it might be called address.pdb. You might want to check your desktop PC for a file in C:\Palm\\address called address.bak. If this file is bigger than the address.dat that is in there, then rename address.bak to address.dat and you should be have all your addresses back.
