How do I recover my Contacts in Windows Live Mail [WLM] ?. Urgent Please.?

i am using Windows Vista... and i use Windows Live Mail [WLM] to access my Hotmail Accounts, Contacts, Calendar, etc. Yesterday... i downloaded/updated a Windows Live Essentials [WLE] 2011 UPDATE as automatically reminded by Windows during my start-up. i have now lost all my Contacts in WLM. How do i recover my Contacts please ???. History: i had updated & fine tuned my NEW Contact List [NCL] with 1200+ Contacts... without signing into my Hotmail, Live, or Messenger Account. i usually have no need to sign in as i am able to receive/send emails via WLM without having to sign in. my NCL Contacts was working excellent with WLM and i was able to send/receive emails etc as normal. Windows than suggested that i update/download WLE [which i accepted]... and i have now lost my NCL Contacts... after the WLE update/download. the WLE download/update has made the system find & display an old online contact list which is of no relevance to me now. NOTE: i am using Windows Vista... and my NCL Contacts were updated/fine-tuned OFFLINE [ie: not Offline as in not being connected to the www... but Offline as in not being 'signed in' to hotmail, live, messenger etc]. How can i recover the NEW Contact List [NCL] that i previously had/used on WLM [Offline] prior to the WLE update.
