Unable to choose recipients in WINMAIL

The only solution I can think of to switch to a different email program.
WLM will import all your WM accounts, settings, and emails:

I don't often use my contacts so this is the first I noticed I have the same
problem.

I don't use Contacts either, preferring to pick recipients from the
'To' field of the message compose window.

The best long term solution to the Contacts problem is to
upgrade to Windows Live Mail:

Just for the record, I am having the same problem. Sure hope downloading
Live Mail works. Not that impressed with Window Vista so far.

Hi! 8 Oct

How did things go with Live Mail? I had the same problem: I uninstalled
933928; however, I ensured I uninstalled top downwards : uninstalled the
latest update downwards till 933928 was uninstalled. I have stopped all Auto
Updates, and am comfortable since ( three months). But I am not comfortable:
I would like to keep Windows updated.

I have the same problem and it is SO ANNOYING! I've deleted the KB thing
before and it corrected the problem. An update must have reinstalled it
because I'm back to the drawing board. Does anyone have any new solution?

You can't keep uninstalling updates forever.
A better solution would be to upgrade to WLM:
