Is the contacts app on your Desktop like the error shows?
Move it to Applications and try again.

Question, can you see contacts in the app or it crashes when you try to open it? The second problem is mail not filling in a contact also?

 

[DICKNPHYL]

Can't see any contacts or open app

The screen shot is exactly what opens when I open contacts- no listings at all-it says there is a problem? Says to ck withe developer?
DICKSTER-----Mail is not filling in contact either.

Try reinstalling Contacts.app with Pacifist. You might need the ML Install app, I'm not sure.

Contacts app-pacifist

I like all others paid the $$ for mountain lion so I'm not paying $$ again to repair something that should work properly. Eventually I'll contact apple care which I have.
I do thank you for your help and ideas!!!!!

I understand, I think there is a trial period on Pacifist. It is quicker than a re-install. Apple Support will tell you to re-install ML, which maybe your best bet at this point. Maybe run disk repair, perhaps it is just a simple permissions error.

AppleCare

Applecare will call me tomorrow 9am.
Probably will have to reinstall-we'll see.
I did disk utility several times-no luck.
Thanks again
