Hi Denise:

Check the properties of those two files to find the most recent one (right click on the file and select Properties), then rename them to from their present names to 1.WAB and 2.WAB and double click on each to open them and see if you can find the contacts in them that are missing. If so, you can create a new WAB file and either copy/paste the contacts from 1.WAB or 2.WAB into your newly created WAB file and make it the default address book to use. Good luck.
