I have bought a new laptop with Outlook 2007 installed. Whenever I
try to add a new contact (either through the menu system, or by
right-clicking on e-mail addresses in mail received), Outlook hangs,
and I need to use Task Manager to close it and then re-start.

Any idea what is causing this, and how to solve it?

Start with a new mail profile.
