Unable to delete Contacts from Windows Mail

[Guest]

Dear Sages of Ages,
I upgraded from XP to Vista and got switched from Outlook Express to Windows
Mail. When R clicking a contact I get message box stating Windows Explorer
is closing then it is restarting. Then the Contacts window closes. Is there
a way to change back to Outlook Express?
Thanks Guys,
Bob

No, Outlook Express doesn't run under Vista.
But you can upgrade to Windows Live Mail:

Gary-thanks for the suggestion. I was finally able to delete all the
contacts and added back ones needed.

I'm not interested in adding a "beta" program and my internet provider will
not support Windows Live Beta. So what does a guy do to correct this program
short of the beta fix?

I know this was a while back but did anyone ever find an alternative
(non-beta) solution to the problem with deleting contacts in Windows Mail?
This is driving me mad.

NO - I am getting very tired and impatient about this problem also. I was
told not to mess with "Beta" solutions.

 

[Gary VanderMolen]

Not that I'm aware of.

"Beta" is just a label. Most people who have tried the latest WLM beta
would agree with me that it is more stable than Windows Mail.

Oh my God...I have been fighting this windows explorer restart anytime I try
to get rid of these unwanted contacts.....What is irritating is Microsoft
making some application without a problem solution....
no one can delete contacts in vista mail.
no one can delete indexed points and urls....
crashing systems in internet explorer, when there are more than 8 pages
open...I even have a 2G mem.
.......................Please if anyone knows how to get rid of these
unwanted contacts...
also why do I have to download this stupid Genuine ....checker thing
everytime I want to download updates.....????


please help
thanks

I don't know how you can make blanket statements like
"no one can delete contacts..."
This is nonsense. Millions of people use this program successfully.
The relatively few who are having problems should switch to
Windows Live Mail:

This seems to be a common problem for quite a few Windows Mail
users. Why fight it? Just upgrade to Windows Live Mail:
