After many hours reinstalling Vista Home Premium and my many applications,
I've run into a snag. Suddenly my Contacts don’t work. I can’t use them via
Outlook or even Windows Mail.

My Contacts folder disappeared. So I recreated it. When I try to add a new
Contact directly in the Contacts folder, the data window appears and
disappears quickly.

I can’t import those Contacts into Mail. I just get a blank dialog box.

I created a new account, logged out and in, and found a new Contacts folder
for that user. But I see the same problem there.

I also copied Contacts from my other Vista laptop into this one. I see the
contacts, but I can’t edit them.

Leads me to believe that the Vista application that manages Contacts is
kaput. I can’t find any reference to this problem in the KB or anywhere
else. Just references to creating Contact Groups.

Right now I’m DOA for sending out email from my Vista machine. I like email
and I want it back!

Thanks much for any help.
