Cannot backup or browse contacts on 6630

Hi Guys, Maybe someone fixed this problem on the 6630.

I cannot backup my contacts anymore, when i do a backup it fails at the end with the following log.

Failed to copy the following data:
- Contacts
C:\System\data\Contacts.cdb

Its baking up everything else apart from the file I actually care about.

Also i have noticed I can no longer browse and edit the contacts in windows explorer like i could before. I get the error Do you want to update your contacts to the phone now? and when i click yes i get The operation could not be completed.

No it used to work and ive only put on a few apps since like call recorder, F-Secure antivirus (with real time scanning disabled) and autolock. None of these apps are showing as running although autolock must run in the system somehow.

My thought is something is locking the contacts file but im not sure what.

Any help appreciated.

Just an update guys i now managed to do the backup by ejecting the memory card???! Another forum recommends you rename the card so ive done that also.

I still cant browse contacts via windows explorer though "The operation could not be completed"

Any ideas?
