Suggest that you empty your contact folder and re-import the contacts again using the option when it presents itself making sure that the email address is mapped to the actual Mail Address field as opposed to the root Mail field and do NOT import anything to the Mail Address Type field which will default.

In Windows 7 and 8, there is a Contacts folder in your user directory. This folder can be useful if you have your contacts in a single .vcf file and want to move them into a .csv file for importing into programs like Outlook 2013.

To import contacts from a single .vcf file into your Contacts folder, open the Contacts folder at the following location in Windows Explorer.

C:Users%username%Contacts

On the toolbar, click Import. If the Import button is not visible on the toolbar, click the >> button and select Import from the drop-down menu.

The Import to Windows Contacts dialog box displays. Select vCard (VCF file) from the list and click Import.

Feb 06, 2004  I'm having the same problem, and I have it in both a DVD-ROM drive and a CD-RW drive. I'm a little reluctant to blame the drives as having 2 fail JUST for this suggests to me that there is a software problem of some kind. Sep 15, 2007  10. Inserted the Newly Burnt Cracked Image in a PHYSICAL CD-ROM Drive! The label now says SH2DISC2 12. The game menu opens and when I click on Play, the following message appears (after about 30 seconds yes, yes I know): Wrong disc inserted. Please insert the original 'Stronghold 2 Deluxe' CD/DVD. Below is what comes up when the PC starts: rundll32. Stronghold 2 The Stronghold Collection: System Language Protection CD Cover: PC. Apply the official Stronghold v1.2 Patch. Replace the original STRONGHOLD2.EXE file with the one from the File. Use StarFucker or StarForce Nightmare to disable access to the CD/DVD Atapi devices or manually Disable/Unhook any CD-ROM/Writers and/or DVD-ROM. Please insert the original stronghold 2 deluxe cd/dvd.

On the Select a vCard file for import dialog box, navigate to the folder containing your .vcf file. Select the file and click Open.
