Outlook Express Address Book

[hobey19]

I did an installation of XP Pro on a friends comp, and we elected to go over ME rather than do a format. when everything was said and done, we went into OE, and attempted to import the address book, but it said that the address book was not installed properly. Does anyone know how to fix this. everything else in xp works fine, but oe does not w/ the address book. o, and if u suggest the micosoft webpage regarding 191946, it does not work for some reason or another. i believe that it may have something to do with the fact that we installed over ME rather than do a fresh intall, but any help would be appreciated.

thanx

Open outlook express then press CTRL+SHIFT+B Then from the top look under the FILE TAB choose to import the address book. Then locate the address book you saved before upgrading to
Win-xp.
