Re: Access CD of emails from old computer

OK, lets just check where/what you've done.

Sorry if this is a bit noddy for you but often is because we assume things that it doesn't work

from a freshly booted PC with no software running,

Start Outlook express ( what version are you running? Assuming 6)

Make sure all the files from the CD are on the local Hard Disk(create a folder under C called oldemail and copy all the files into it)

Do 'File - Import - Messages'

Now you need to know what version of OE was running on your old PC. if it was 4 or below choose the Outlook Express V4 option, if it was 5 or higher choose Outlook Express 6.

Then Click teh browse button and select teh folder you created earlier. The OK button shold be enabled at this point.

Click OK and follow the rest of the wizard. (I don't have any suitable files to go beyond this as I don't run Windows personally)

let me know if you have issues.
