Error when preparing import: contacts database file is already open .... WLM 2012 to EMC.

On windows 10, I have WLM 2012 installed for a while but it now fails immediately when you try to open it (IRQL BSOD error).  I have downloaded EMC and have imported my account and it is up and running (Thank you!).  When I try to import contacts, I get ‘Error when preparing import: contacts database file is already opened by another program’.  I cannot open WLM to export contacts.  Is there anything else that can be done in EMC to retrieve the contacts or do I have to start from scratch?  Thank you.
