Email address book

I use Vista Home Premium. When I prepare an email, I no longer get prompted
for names from my address book in the "TO' and "CC" portions. I have to scan
the address book to select the recipients. Is there anyway to fix this?

do you mean that when clicking on the TO: it does not bring up the address boo.
or
it no longer auto completes the addresses.

if the latter. vista works different from OE .
you need to enter the first 3 characters of a name, and use it several times before it is registered in the LAST USED list of 29 names.

That feature is known as the auto-complete function.
Windows Mail does not auto-complete from your contacts.
It uses a separate list of the last 29 recipients you've sent mail to.
The auto-complete feature works much better in the replacement
program, Windows Live Mail, which uses the standard contacts list.
You are encouraged to upgrade to the newer WLM program:
