Hi. What do you mean you "changed" it? You can't change your Hotmail email address to a different one, you can only create a new one. In which case none of the photos or contacts would be on your new one. What did you do with your old email account, delete it? If so, then no you can't retrieve saved content.

bugger i would say that is a very strong possibility that i have deleted the old account i will try for a password reset,but i did not see anything saying "do you wish to close account" should i have had a warning?

You would know if you've deleted the account or not, as you have to go to Account Options, click Close Account, read all the warnings and what data will be deleted, then finally confirm your password and click 'yes'; so it's not something you can do accidentally.

Also, please read this first:
CookieRevised's reply to i have made a new email address,how do i copy the contacts of my existing email id?
Chances are you do not need to create a new account; you can change your existing account to another email address in certain cases.
