Address book not responding

[Teachermomjo]

I have a Mac mini.

Several days ago I was adding data to my address book. I left the computer for a few minutes. When I returned the entire address book was dumped. I found some of the data in the trash.

Since then Address book, I chat, and I cal go to "not responding." I can do some things in I cal, but then it freezes.

I had just installed Toast 7 the day before all this started. Toast 7 freezes as well.

What can I do to fix this?

Were you adding data manually, or using some kind of batch import? Because if you were just entering an address by hand, then left and returned a few minutes later to find that Address Book had on its own destroyed your data -- that would be weird.
