Software "Windows Contacts" does not exist in my Vista

I finally decided to try Windows Contacts (formerly address book) in Vista. But the software does not exist among my many Windows program files. It is possible that I deleted the software somehow. I tried to find a way to download just this Microsoft software, but don't find any option to do. Any ideas? Thank you 1 million.

Hi debussymuir,

Windows contact is not software, so there is no option to download. Windows contact is a contact manager that is implemented in a special folder in Windows Vista. It's in the Start Menu of Windows Vista.

Windows in Windows XP address book has been replaced by the Windows touch in Windows Vista. Windows contacts has all the features of the old Windows address book, as well as some new features, such as the ability to add pictures to your contacts.

To access the Windows Contacts:

Open Windows Contacts by clicking Start , allprograms, and then clicking Windows Contacts.

For more information, please visit the following links:

  • Windows contacts does not work correctly.

    I have synced my HTC Evo to Windows Contacts.  I wanted to add contacts through my computer and then transfer to my phone I thought it would be easier (keyboard real vs knocking on the phone with fingers).  The problem is that my Windows Contacts opens and it doesn't have the complete list of options (add contacts, etc.). -It shows it as being a photo program (wants to burn or slide show).  How can I fix it?  I opened the program of the said Web page how to (Start menu > all programs > windows contacts).  On the screen shot here, I noticed that there is another icon in the menu bar indicating the location on the computer that the icon that I have in my menu bar.

    If the toolbar in Contacts doesn't have its normal icons, then the type of folder for Contacts is incorrect. To fix:
    Open windows contacts. Right-click somewhere in this empty white space to the right. Select Customize this folder,
    Click on the small triangle in the drop-down list, select Contacts, and then click OK.

    Windows Defender is an antispyware software, not an Antivirus.

    If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

    There is nothing to worry.

    Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.

    If you are using one of the above AntiVirus programs, this Information from David O - Support Engineer shows you how to manually enable Windows Defender (disregard information from uninstalling; not possible in Vista):
