So here's my quandry. My PC crashed with all of my contacts on it. Fortunately, my Kaiser is quite healthy. So I bought a new PC with Vista on it and would like to transfer my contacts from the Kaiser to the PC.
Microsoft, on the other hand, had other ideas. Despite coming with a Contacts program in Vista, Windows Mobile Device Center won't let my sync to it, I must sync to Outlook. I don't like spending hundreds of dollars more for Outlook, because I just bought a new laptop and I'm broke!
I know I can get Windows Live Mail to my hotmail, pocket pc, and vista together, but all of my contacts are stored in pocket outlook, with no way that I know of to import them into Windows Live. I tried using this program:

which will extract my contact info into a .CSV file that I can import into hotmail, but hotmail won't identify the file properly (so close!)
Does anybody know a way to get my contacts off my phone without typing them out one by one?
