Opening VCF file Crashes (Restarts) Outlook

[RonFromSydney]

A person in our company receives VCF files from someone internally causing
her Outlook to crash if opened as an attachment. If she saves the attachment
to a local drive before opening the VCF, it works fine. She uses exactly the
same version as everyone else (outlook 2003 SP3), all VCF files sent to her
are affected but nothing else, have tried Detect and Repair - no change.

I've yet to try using a different Windows profile to determine if it's
application or settings related.

Thank you for your assistance.

Outlook seems to crash when opening VCF files straight from an email; nevertheless, it performs perfectly if the file is first saved then opened. Because this problem only affects one individual in the company, despite the fact that everyone uses the same version of Outlook , it appears that the issue is caused by her unique Outlook settings or Windows profile. Outlook might have trouble with some attachments because of security settings, smashed profiles, or clashes with other programs. Try an automatic program for VCF file conversion to Outlook PST format to prevent this hassle. I recommend using GainTools VCF to PST Converter, which allows you to read and manage VCF files without using Outlook. If Outlook provide problems, this tool might be a quick and easy solution. It also has a free trial edition, allowing you to test it without risk and cost-free.
