Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Mail / July 2008"Unable to choose recipients"
In the middle of today, even though I have been using Windows Mail throughout today, all of a sudden, I get the "unable to choose recipients" message when clicking the To option in a new email. However, if I open "Windows Contacts", select a contact, and click "E-Mail", then a new message window opens, with the contact name prefilled in the To field, which is good (the long way). Why, seemingly randomly today, am I getting this message when I click the To option in a new message window? Thanks. > In the middle of today, even though I have been using Windows Mail > throughout [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > I > click the To option in a new message window? Thanks. The contacts folder is occasionally changed to another type of folder, which causes assorted problems with contacts. If you suspect this has happened, start Windows Mail, the, click Tools, then Windows Contacts, then right click in the empty space under the right end of the toolbar in the contacts window, then click on Customize This Folder, then the triangle to the right of the folder type, then Contacts, then Apply, then OK, then close the contacts window. Also, make sure you don't type any part of the address before clicking To:. Thanks - that did it!

I've found that 9 out of every 10 Windows Updates fouls up the Select Recipients option. Why Microsoft continues to issue updates that aren't compatible with Windows Mail stumps me. I always manually update one update at a time, see if it's messed up Mail, and restore the system if it has. What a pain!!!! Does anyone know how to actually get through to a live person at Microsoft and ask them why they can't program an update that's compatible with their own mail program? > In the middle of today, even though I have been using Windows Mail throughout > today, all of a sudden, I get the "unable to choose recipients" message when [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > long way).

I always install every Microsoft update, yet have never had that problem, and I think that is the norm for most people. If Windows Mail does not perform well for you, I suggest upgrading to Windows Live Mail: http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview SignatureGary VanderMolen, MS-MVP > I've found that 9 out of every 10 Windows Updates fouls up the Select > Recipients option.

If so, I'll about bet that's the problem. > I've found that 9 out of every 10 Windows Updates fouls up the Select > Recipients option.

Have gone into Outlook setup (running disk again) and selected "do not use outlook for receiving emails. I use another program" or something similar to this. I have now got my addresses back in Windows email > In the middle of today, even though I have been using Windows Mail throughout > today, all of a sudden, I get the "unable to choose recipients" message when [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > long way).

Until now, we had assumed that Outlook 2000 needed to be uninstalled in order to clear this Contacts problem. SignatureGary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) >I had same frustrating problem.

Why, seemingly randomly today, am I getting this message when I >> click the To option in a new message window? Thanks. Hello there. I am having continued problems with this. I have Vista and had Outlook 2000 installed. I was going back and forth between Outlook and WinMail...depending upon which one was giving me the least troubles. I finially read enough posts that said I should get rid of Outlook 2000 and so I finally did. I also re-installed AVG without installing the the E-mail Scanner part, so that wouldn't cause any problems either. Then, I checked to see if I needed to delete the KB933928 and it was already deleted. I looked for the KB931768 and found that one and deleted it. However, I still am unable to click on the "to:" and bring up my list of contacts in a new e-mail in WiinMail. Any other suggestions? Thanks! > Thanks for that tip.

Try this: Go into the C:\Windows\System32 folder and delete or rename wab32.dll and wab32res.dll. SignatureGary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) > Hello there. I am having continued problems with this.
