any idea of a fix?? I have been taking to Microsoft techsupport for well since I installed vista and seem to be getting no where.
 
Can you move the .contact file to another directory? If you can't delete it
from the folder maybe you can move it out of there.

I am sorry to have posted this same issue on 4/27/07. Does anyone have an
answer for this annoying issue.

I am trying to delete outdated email addresses from the Contact list and I
get same error - Contacts has stopped working.

How can I debug this issue?

I did Import my Contacts list from my XP deskto to this new Dell laptop with
Vista 32-bit.

Any help would be appreciated.

<go to Start-programs windows contact, sort them in list mode, there you can
delete each of them
deleted contacts remain in recycle bin till you decide to clean it

Thanks, I have been trying to figure this out for weeks. Moving file, opening
through start programs and using each display option has not worked. I still
get the same error but drag and drop worked. I think it is a Vista 32 bit
and win mail issue nothing the user can do. I want to know when Microsoft is
going to fix it. :-)
