Adding Contacts to 'Contacts'

When I open 'contacts' I do not have 'Add a contact' or 'New' on the
toolbar. How do I get this option on toolbar. Am using Vista. Thanks John

Your Contacts folder has apparently switched from it's proper default
template.
Open Contacts
Right-click on a blank area of the right pane, and select "Customize this
folder"
in the pull-down box, select "Contacts"
ok

I found this in an old post. Hope it solves the problem. - -

This happens if the folder type template for the Contacts folder is
incorrect. To fix the problem, use these steps:

Open the Contacts folder. Right-click on a blank area in the folder, and
choose Customize This Folder... In the folder type drop down box, select
Contacts and click OK.
