Contacts

Hopefully this message, my first, is getting to the right area.
I just got my first Vista system, loaded my Office 2000 PRO w/Outlook 2000,
and promptly had problems with Outlook. After screwing around with it for a
couple hours, I decided to use Microsoft Mail & Contacts (in Vista). Now, I
can't import (get a box with an X), and when I try to add or edit a contact a
box flashes momentarily on the screeen. When I create a new message, the
Contact list will NOT drop when I pop the TO button. Any ideas how I can
kill and reinstall MM/Contacts, or is there an easier answer? I have read a
few places where others have this same problem, but I haven't read an answer
yet.
Thanks in advance.

Outlook 2000 has problems running under Vista. Versions 2003 and later
work properly, though.

You may find it faster to ask about problems with Outlook in this
newsgroup:

microsoft.public.outlook.general

Re: Contacts

Outlook 2000 is a bit old for Vista, and will cause significant problems
with Windows Mail contacts. For more on this see
