SP3 may be your problem.  It puts a lot of the Vista Microsoft Spyware/Controlware onto XP and I understand it has a lot of problems.  I would love to have the old simple cardfile back.  Any idea where I could get it?  AnnaSummers

Hello,

I have kept Windows cardfile on my computer since the days of Windows 
3.1 and I keep phone numbers and addresses in a cardfile.

The last couple of times I have opened my cardfile I have been warned 
that it is Read Only and I can't save any changes to it.

I checked the Properties sheet for the file and Read Only is not check 
marked.

Anybody got any ideas how I can get this file working right again?

I'm on Win XP SP3 on an e-Machine T3410.
