| | Windows Contacts has stopped working Whenever I add a new contact or start a new contact group, once I click the Add button I get the message that Windows Contacts has stopped working. I have rebooted a couple of times and this has repeated over several days. Any ideas? -- Mark |

| | Re: Windows Contacts has stopped working Unfortunately, Windows Mail is not compatible with most Norton or McAfee security programs. Those will need to be uninstalled, not just disabled. After uninstalling your non-compatible antivirus, download and install a more compatible antivirus like the free Avast: http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html Even compatible antivirus programs will need to have their email scanning option turned off.

| | Re: Windows Contacts has stopped working Did you mean you *uninstalled* Symantec Internet Security? I hope so. Any other third party security software like anti-spyware? If not, I have run out of ideas, and my only remaining suggestion is to try Windows Live Mail: http://get.live.com/betas/maildesktop_betas -- Gary VanderMolen [MS MVP-WLM] "Mark" <Mark@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:595E9FD7-9752-4CE9-8E7F-345020A963C2@xxxxxx Quote: >I have installed Symantec Internet Security and Live Update and the issue > persists.
