I had the exact same frustrating problem. I found that systems that were
systems with a fresh install of Office 2007 work BCM much faster. Uninstall
> I recently installed BCM 2003 SP2 on my work computer with Outlook 2003 and
> imported my contacts from the Outlook Contact database. The import of my
> ~1,500 contacts worked almost flawlessly (some of the contacts ended up with
> duplicate first or last name …/ eg. Joe Smith became Joe Joe Smith). Although
