When I try to open Contacts I get the following error message
"the file or directory is corrupted or unreadable"
I know I should be able to run the chkdsk function, but don't know how to do
this on Vista.

Any ideas?
 
Do you have a separate backup of your contacts?
If so delete this folder: C\Users\username\Contacts , then restart
Windows Mail, and import contacts from your backup.
You will probably lose the Group information for your contacts when
importing.

Another option is to upgrade to Windows Live Mail:
