When I tried to delete a contact as soon as I click on delete windows
explorer crashes..then it restarts but closes contacts. What do I do to fix
this?

One workaround is to drag that contact to the recycle bin.

In the long run, you'd be better off upgrading to Windows Live Mail,
since it has fewer bugs.

You're confusing me because your are posting in the Windows Mail newsgroup.

Your suggestion of dragging and dropping on the trash works. However the
problem of: In Vista... Windows Contacts and Windows Mail Contacts are the
same. So when in Contacts...Selecting one, then clicking on delete...windows
explorer crashes and closes everything and starts back up. It needs to be
fixed. All of this occurred after I imported addresses from Outlook
Express(after I exported it) into Windows mail contacts. So any suggestions
on fixing this.

Are you running any third party security software?
As a test, uninstall that, reboot, then try editing contacts.
Any difference?
