My outlook program is corrupt and I need to delete the entire program and
reinstall. I have tried repair and it crashes every time I open it. I really
need my contacts. How can I find the folder with my contacts and copy it to a
portable hard drive or somewhere else on my "C" drive? Thanks

The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the
mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:
