Windows contacts issue

Hi - I'm using Vista Home Premium, and have started looking at Windows
Contacts, but when I open it, there are no buttons for Email, New Contact or
New Contact Group. - the whole of the right hand side of the bar where they
are supposed to be (according to Microsoft screenshots) is just blank. I've
sorted how to add new contacts via the menus, but can't see any way of
creating a group by that means.

I have never used Windows Mail, having installed Windows Live Mail Desktop
as soon as I got this computer.

Any idea how to get the relevant buttons, or failing that how to create a
group without them?

Thanks

Sorry - forget it - realised I can use the contact in widows Live Mail -
works the same way. Still curious as to why those buttons aren't there
though.

In mine, those functions are along the TOP, and don't appear until you
actually highlight a contact...
