Vista - Microsoft Mail/Contacts

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 screen. When I create a new message, the
Contact list will NOT drop when I pop the TO button. NOTE: This message is
NOT requesting info on Outlook, I KNOW 2000 is outdated and I am DONE with
it. It is about Microsoft Mail and the new Contacts program in Vista and how
to get it back on track. Does anyone know how I can kill and reinstall
MM/Contacts in Vista? While messing around with Outlook 2000 earlier I must
have broken a link somewhere, and I'm just trying to get it back.
Thanks in advance.
