O my god!  It's not just me!  I thought that was my computer being really 
stupid!  Now if anyone can put an answer on this, or teach us how to get back 
to the classic addressbook, that would be fantastic!

  Subject: JAWS 9 and Windows Contacts


  Hi everyone. My name is Jake and I just joined the list a few moments ago. I 
have a question pertaining to the use of Windows Vista with JAWS. Actually this 
kind of involves the System Access screen reader too, but I'll get to that. I 
have JAWS version 9, and am using Windows Vista. I'm not certain which version 
of Vista it is though. For the most part, I am finding JAWS version 9 to work 
great. However, I am having a problem with my Windows Contacts. I have 
attempted to launch Windows Contacts from the Start menu, and also from Windows 
Mail. JAWS is only reading one or two of the contacts, but I know there are 
more in there because I added them myself. After that JAWS just stops dead in 
its tracks, and when I try to exit Windows Contacts I get a message from JAWS 
saying "Windows Contacts not Responding." This also happened when I tried them 
with System Access. I had a neighbor come in here and see if anything happened 
on the screen, but he couldn't find anything. He tried moving the mouse around 
a bit and was able to exit Windows Contacts. Any help with this would be 
greatly appreciated as I need to correct an email address for one of my 
contacts. Thanks a lot.
  Jake
