Stubborn adress book

[makiz]

I work on a 15' powerbook & i use adress book a lot. i used it yesterday & everything seemed to be fine. This morning it doesnt work. I press the shortcut in dock & the little arrow appears but the finder stays on the previous aplication i am running + so i have to force it 2 quit. Why is that? How can i overcome this problem knowing that i havent done a backup of my contacts for 3 months?
Somebody help me pleaaaaase.
P.S: I still work on 10.3 with no updates cos i bought the mac in Greece & i can only put greek updates

Hi makiz and welcome to the forum.
I have one idea: go to home/Library/Preferences and look for the 'com.apple.AddressBook.plist' file. Move it out of this folder onto your Desktop. Make sure there is no copy of that file left in the Preferences folder. Now open adressbook and pray it will be fine again. Good luck!
