Transferring intact AOL Email /Buddies Address book to another computer

I'm baffled by this On the computer I'm using all my address book has been wiped bar how mant People I have saved as Buddies ? Buddy list displays, yet Address cards blanked(deleted?)

Now if I use my old computer everything is intact
So I email myself with the address book which can be saved to Favourites
So far so good yet when I open it NOTHING Address book opens still completely blank
Any Ideas on How to Export the Full Address book to my other computer without it being blanked?
Can access the Browser data files, But which one holds the address book? (Note there are several files for each screen name)

Thanks for that

Situation is Hopeless Suspect it was erased by ccleaner (first time its happened) Have located the file on the other computer and transferred it over and replaced the file on this comp with no Joy

So the only thing left is a Full Delete and Reinstall and the copy on AOLs server will be installed when I reinstall (Have to save the Favourite as they are not saved on the server ...Transfer takes seconds )
BTW For Security reasons I am NOT saying where the file is located or its extension name OK?

Just done that and NO change ! Deleted all the old copies too to prevent a conflict

Answering my own problem

AOL does save a copy on its server but you can only access it at www.mail.aol.com/ and only works on either a Strange computer or if you are accessing AOL on a router NOT tried the AOL Open-ride browser though I have a sneaking suspicion that method could work too?
