Contact Groups: Cannot Select Members

I sent a message with what I see but it didn't post. I see what you mean, though. When I check Help and Support on my PC, it uses the language/buttons I reported (see below) but other spots(e.g., online at microsoft.com) uses your language.

Are there somehow different versions of Windows Contacts that are out here? Otherwise, how to explain the differences.

Thanks! Frank

"On the toolbar, click New Contact Group, type a name in the Group Name box, and then fill in the boxes on the Contact Group tab and Contact Group Details tab. You don't have to fill in all the boxes; just type as much information as you want about the new contact group you are creating.
1.. Add contacts to the contact group in any of the following ways:

a.. To add individual contacts to the group from your existing contacts, click Select Members.

b.. To create new contacts and add them to the contact group, click New Contact.

c.. To add new people to the contact group without also adding them to your individual contacts, type the appropriate information in the Contact Name and E-mail boxes, and then click Add."

My help uses the terminolgy Add To Contact Group but otherwise the same.

If you type in Start Run
winver

are you Ver 6 build 6000 (the released version of Vista). I take it you are a yank (comcast.net?) and there no international aspect to this?
