Suddenly, all my 'Windows Mail' contacts are blurred, only not in alphabetical order.

HOW TO SOLVE?

All of a sudden all of my Windows Mail contacts are garbled when I want to select recipients.  The contacts in the folder are in alphabetical order but not the contacts list when I compose an email.  How can I correct this inconvenient situation?

Hi, J3Webster,

Click on the column header for the column name.  It will sort by name.

    My OS is Vista Home Premium 64 x.  Contacts files Windows Mail suddenly became dysfunctional.  The first indication was that individual files appeared as of the empty boxes with the exception of about 5%, which was the icon standard faceless person. When I try to open files by double clicking I get a notification that "Windows cannot open this file...". ».  However, I can open them via the edit function.

  • List of Windows Mail Contacts

    When I want to send an email to someone and click the box 'To' the contact list are not in alphabetical order.

    How do I arrange my e-mail contacts list in alphabetical order see after clicking the 'To' box?


    Windows Messenger Contact list is always stored in alphabetical order.
    It may not SEEM to be just because of the way that you entered addresses.
    When you first enter an address, you will notice there is a box for first name and a family name area.
    Make sure that do you this for all contacts, and then decide if you want to list first, first name or last name first.
    If all the above is done, you will see the list of how you want.
    Example: Last name first
    RE: List of contacts - first name
    Open Windows Mail > click Contacts > in the window of the Contacts, right-click on the word NAME > click MORE > in the next window, select the name and click MOVE up to move the family name at the front very > click OK.
    The list will now begin with the names of family first.

    See pictures of screenshots:

    This is how your contacts list will look like, and when you click on the button to, they will also list Lastname first in alphabetical order.

  • Windows Mail Contacts: How can I find the names in alphabetical order A - Z?

    original title: Windows Messaging Contacts

    I use Windows Mail in Vista. If I open my Contacts icon, all my names are listed in order alphabetical by last name, except they start from the Z - A instead of A to Z. However, if I click on "New Message", click the "To" box, all names are blurred; that is, they are not in alphabetical order, and I can't get a person with the same name as another. How can I a) find the names in alphabetical order, from A to Z when I click on the box 'To', and b) retrieve my contacts displayed A - Z?

    Thank you.

    By clicking on the header above the names of contacts line, they should be used in the other direction. Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

  • When forwarding mail TO: all my addresses are not in alphabetical order?

    You use an e-mail client (Windows Live Mail) or a webmail (Hotmail)?

    Webmail:

    a. sign in to your email account
    b. click on your "contacts" list and wait for them to show.
    c. press "email" or "screen name" once classified in alphabetical order, twice to sort in reverse alphabetical order. Some Web e-mail providers can have a drop down menu asking how you want to sort the email addresses. Simply to click the menu drop-down and click on "alphabetically."

  • Windows Mail - where are the Images?

    Windows Mail has suddenly / recently ceased to display images in the body of the email, replaced by the place with Red Cross holders.  I am running Vista Home Premium; service pack 2; 64-bit operating system.  Windows Mail I have * no * check box in the Options - Security to block images and other external content in HTML messages. (In other words, all images should download automatically).  There is no 'right click' option to download images when I have an open message. There an InfoBar at the top of the message to download and display the images in the current message.  The images disappeared maybe a week or two ago.  Help please - I've exhausted the obvious options.

    @tirenpace: Thanks - but none of those who apply.  I don't have any problem to see images on Web pages (and in any case, I use FireFox as my browser).  And, as I said in my question, I have already set up Windows Mail to download all images; and there * no. * InfoBar at the top of the message to download and display the images in the current message.

    I stumbled upon a resolution however; which makes no sense, but that worked.  To restore the default settings of IE.  I don't know how it worked, but it did.

  • Reinstalling Windows Mail Contact List

    I had to reinstall my whole computer, because it crashed with an update of Windows 'stuck '.  I have my Windows Mail contact list saved on my C drive, and also have a CD of it.  I tried to import the list, but I can't make him - how can I put my contacts back in Windows Mail without having to re - type the entire list?  Thanks for any help

    I've never had the pleasure, it's just a JOKE. Assuming that you have saved the file containing the list of contacts, move it from the CD to the desktop. Right click on the folder. Properties and make sure it is not marked read-only and then try to import from there.

  • Someone at - he heard of this? Text of boot and BIOS is distorted. Random characters in the BIOS and the splash screen are off by 2 in alphabetical order.

    After a recent accident, my screen is distorted during boot and in the BIOS. Random Charactersa are replaced by a different letter, that is, the periods are replaced with commas, 'Windows' may appear as 'Walker', 'restarted' as 'Reqtarted' and 'Network' as 'Letuoriini '.

    It seems that the characters are disabled by two in alphabetical order, appearing as A, D, appearing as a B C.
    At first, I thought that it was a mistake to video card, so I updated the driver. I ran three separate programs of the antivirus (AVG, MBAM and Hitman Pro). Nothing came.
    Any advice? I can't post specifications of material right now, as I write via the phone, but will provide later tonight.

    After much trial and error, it turned out that my graphics card was at fault.

    The original accident occurred during the loading of Arkham City, which has always been a little bit of lag on my system. As he had been executed more slowly than normal, I installed a driver updated for it. No improvement, except when it is trying to run anything that has used its installed engines, (PhysX, DirectX, or any more complex than the Minesweeper game) or the card system would be plant or generate error messages.
    So I ran several antivirus programs, nothing unusual came. Biting the bullet, I formatted the drive and reinstalled Windows XP.  The computer works, but need several resettlement programs. During the restoration, the distorted letters are returned to the starting, development not being able to get in Mode safe without extreme distortion after the start.
    Until the moment where it loaded with a mobile slider on noise static/white/random color.
    I had almost given up hope until it appeared. Since the PC started normally, it wouldn't BIOS or any other material.
    My secondary fan came unplugged, and the fan on the graphics card had stopped working. After switching to the card mother VGA, distortion had disappeared.
    Final diagnosis: overheated graphics card.
