I knew which program you were using for email, but that doesn't preclude
other programs from being installed. I'll assume that Outlook was never
installed on that computer. Since we ruled out the Outlook .wab conflict, the
next most likely cause is your antivirus. Which antivirus are you running?
Some of them are not very compatible with Windows Mail.

I'm currently using McAfee but its just expired and I'm thinking of changing
it to AVG. Its the whole email programme that closes not just the address
book.

McAfee antivirus is among the top three troublemakers for Windows Mail.
The only way you can prove or disprove that McAfee is the culprit is to
uninstall it, followed by using their debris removal tool:

If you decide to replace McAfee, we can recommend a free antivirus
program which is more compatible with Windows Mail:
Instead of switching to a different antivirus, another option is to upgrade
to Windows Live Mail (WLM), which is more resistant to the adverse effects
of overly intrusive antivirus products: http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview
Even with WLM, you must disable email scanning in the antivirus,
