ok, tried that "exactly" as you had it for the registry- extra quotes and all...and when launching from Contacts softkey- it gives the error:
The file ':MSCONTACTS' cannot be opened. either it is not signed with a trusted blah blah blah....
[edit- damnit...need coffee...didnt have the registry 'exactly' like that after all...changing now]

if opened from the Organizer softkey, it opens PrimeContact with English language, but then will crash on scrolling again.

if opening the PrimeContact.exe directly from Program files- it will open, seems to work ok- uses one of the skins in the skin directory, scrolls good, but...its all in Russian then. trying to figure out how to change the language now.
