Address Book missing from Running Applications

I run Address Book and "Open at Login". I'm running MacOS X Lion 10.7.4 and Address Book 6.1.2 on a MacBook Pro. I have just recently noticed that though the Dock shows the little blue indicator that Address Book is running and the Ctrl-TAB shows that Address Book is running, there is no way to bring up Address Book's Window. This started about a week or so ago.

Activity Monitor window also does not show the Address Book in the processes list regardless of the filtering.

Is there a new bug in Address Book?

Hello:

I do not know of any Address Book "bugs," old or new.

You might try trashing a couple of preference files and restarting:

com.apple.addressbook.abd.plist

com.apple.addressbook.plist

com.apple.addressbooksourcesync.plist

If that does not help, try removing the application from your startup items, restart,and see if you can open the application.
