OK, uninstalled all Windows Live Essentials. Installed WLM 2009/10 and appears the only think lost was 5 addressess. Had 725 originally, now have 720. I was also able to send to that one individual that was not accepted. I was able to export my contacts to a csv file.
Thanks for all the help.
Do you suppose those problems I had with version 2011 should be reported to Microsoft?
My backup .doc file contained 725, the new contacts listed 720. Checking against that backup .doc file i found that there were about 25 additions and deletions that were not reflected in the new 2009/10 WLM. With that .doc file I think my contacts list is back to normal. And I can now export it to a .csv file.
Feeling good about reinstalling WLM 2009, my friend with a Windows 7 machine and Windows Live Mail 2011 did an export of his contacts to a .csv file... successfully. So, I uninstalled Live Essentials 2009, reinstalled 2011. Attempted to export my contacts to a .csv file. Again, all that exported was the headers.
So, back to 2009 again.
Too bad you have to go back to the older version after using so much of the 2011 Suite of programs. I can't imagine why you can export in 2009 but not 2011, especially since your friend can.
