I just bought my wife a new computer - it has Windows Vista Home Premium Edition for an OS. While I don 't know Vista, I think I have the machine pretty well set up - even though I am a XP person. It seems Vista has some new features, including a scheduling calendar. Does anyone know if Vista includes a address list - you know, the old-fashined one where you can keep track of names, street addresses, telephone numbers etc?
View 5 RepliesWhenever i create a new email by click "To" to open up my address book for selecting any email address, or when i use "reply all" and want to add in some more email address from the address book, the computer start to run and till it stuck, so the only choice for me is to end this task and type email address instead of selecting email address from address book.
i thought that this is because i got too many email address, thus i deleted most of it and now only got 700 email address inside my address book, i just can not understand that when outlook express can take more than 3000 email address book, but windows mail can not take about 700 email address book. And somemore, this email address book is just useless for me, because whenever i want to use the address book, the windows mail is going to hang... and the only choice is to go to task manager, end this task and restart my windows mail.
My home computer is Windows XP with outlook 6. My new laptop is Vista Home Basic. I cannot find how to transfer my contacts from home to laptop. I really have tried.
When I go to windows explorer and search for the microsoftoutlook, nothing comes up, and I have clicked "show hidden files". I really only need the contacts, can someone help? Step by step, please. (Vista is all new to me.)
This company (Rob Buy) has hijacked my address book and is sending spam to people I know as if it's from me.

I am using Vista, Outlook Express. I need to add a contact to my address book but can't, for the life, of me, figure out how to do it. I've gone to the HELP function which tells me what to do, but the toolbar that is supposed to come up isn't there. When I click on CONTACTS the toolbar (reading across from left to right) says: ORGANIZE / VIEWS / PLAY ALL / BURN. Nowhere is there a feature that says NEW CONTACT.
View 7 Replies View RelatedUsing Vista Easy Transfer, I migrated all my files from my XP laptop (running Office 2003) to my new Dell laptop (running Office 2007). Everything went fine, except I don’t have any address book when I attempt to send an email from Outlook. All my contacts came across in the transfer, but they don’t appear in an address book. When I attempt to designate a Contacts folder (via the properties dialog box in the contacts folder) as an Outlook address book, the check box to allow this is greyed out – and under the Administration tab in the same properties dialog box, it appears that no one is allowed access (nothing is checked, but this is also greyed out). When I have installed Office 2007 on other machines, still running XP, all works OK – so it appears the problem is Vista based.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am running a new Sony Vaio laptop with Vista Home Premium installed (no SP1 offered to me as yet). My question is not one for the Outlook newsgroup (I reckon) but simply as to the path in Windows Vista leading to the Outlook Address Book. I ask because it was my custom to back up Outlook Express daily on to an external hard drive by drag and drop. I would transfer to related address book in a similar manner. Having upgraded to Outlook, I am able to back up that folder daily in a similar manner. But when I find the new address book, in .csv format, it does not relate directly to the new address book that I have edited in Outlook format. My question is, put simply, is there a proper address book lurking away in the background that is invisible to me?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI just recently purchased my Vista pc, and I'm having problems organizing my contacts in the new Windows Mail address book (or contacts folder). In OE, I could sort my contacts into folders. Then when I would send an e-mail I could click on "to" and a window opened showing the list of folders in a drop down menu. I would choose the folder I wanted to pick my recipient (s) from. I could choose them individually or in groups. For some reason I can't figure out how to do this with Windows Mail Contacts. I have sorted my contacts into separate folders, but every time I click on "to" to choose the recipients of my message, it does not show the folders, but instead shows every single contact in the folder. It doesn't separate them at all. This makes choosing the recipients very tedious indeed.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI just bought a WD My Book Home 1tb about 3 months ago, and I recently started having this peculiar issue with it. I can't "safely remove" as it says a program is using it (I have no idea what) and if I just unplug it, it isn't recognized under My Computer when I plug it back in. I tried using the eSATA connection on it, and I'm assuming it went to sleep or something and isn't accessible. I tried using USB again, on two different ports, and as per something someone said on another site, tried plugging into different outlets, all to no avail. It is listed under device manager as "working" but I can't access it. The only solution I have found is to reboot my computer, but that is quickly growing very annoying. If I plug into my friend's Vista PC (32bit I think) however, it works fine.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have been trying for close to a month to figure out how to get Vista to display email addresses from the 'address book' or the contacts list, in a much more efficient manner. At the moment, when I go to create an email and click the 'To' button, every single email address entered into the contacts list is displayed.I liked the way outlook express had it set up, email addresses could be entered into sub-folders so that they were in a more logical list. (family/friends/business/etc...). Now when viewing a contacts list, the sub folder are shown... but, what I would really like to be able to do is click that To button, see the address sub folders, and select the recipient from that sub folder list.The windows help and support screen can't find the info I am looking for and many attempts at trying to get the same sort of recipient selection that outlook express gave has failed with what appears to a backward step taken by 'Windows Mail'.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI bought a brand new WD My Book Home Edition 500GB external hard drive yesterday. Vista will not recongize it as a drive on the computer. The computer sees that it is connected (in device manager and the "ding-dong" you hear when you add a new device). I hooked it up with the Firewire and the USB, with the same result. The drive is supposedly Vista compatible. I downloaded the firewire drivers from WD. Since I cannot access it as a drive, I cannot get to the setup.exe needed to use the drive.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have this Gateway FX notebook which I just brought home about a week and a half ago. It runs Vista Home edition (x86), 64 bit and has some very good specs, but it hasn't performed satisfactorily at all since I've started using it. Most particularly applications, exe files and other files closely associated with them have been vanishing on restart. Often my display settings will change on their own as well. Sometimes it will delete a whole program, leaving just a shell. othertimes it will delete large parts of it, leaving it fragmented and uselss. Overall my experiance with Vista has been extreemly frustrating. It feels like such a huge step back from XP, which was easier to navigate and more willing to just do what I told it to. Vista feels like it has a mind of its own, and like it's working at cross purposes to me. I could put up with it if I could just get it to keep the settings I give it and stopped deleting files. I'm sorry if I've been ranting. I'm no expert. I really don't know where to look for help. The people at Gateway said to just reformat the drive, which seems like a lazy suggestion as there shouldn't be anything wrong the computer fresh out of the factory. I've been operating with Windows Live since I turned it on and it doesn't seem like it has a virus.
