I edited 850 records I recd - screen bitmap error -edited Groups Tab, screen show'd only 1 of 336 records. How to retrieve lost records?

My question is why did I lose over half my contacts. I was editing info on contact 336 when I recvd a "bitmap" error. After "x" out of that I only had 1 - 336 contacts. How do I retrieve the lost 485 contacts?

[Edit: added details from duplicate message]

Hello cd77063,
First, I highly doubt these contacts are lost. It sounds like a display issue possibly caused by a damaged preferences file. The first thing I would try is rebooting your computer. If this does not work then follow the steps in the bottom half of this Knowledgebase article to manually rebuild your ACT! preferences file:
