import OLE files

I do a weekly backup of AppData, such as my OLE files (.dbx files) but now that I have just loaded Win 7 onto my computer which used to be XP, I find that I may have lost my Outlook Express files. I do have Outlook from Office. Any idea how to get the OLE back?

I went directly from XP top Win 7. My solution was to reinstall XP & Office Outlook. Rename the folders in OLE to keep them unique and then export to OL. I saved the .pst files from AppData. Reinstalled Win 7 & Office and then copied over the .pst file I had saved. A long work around ? perhaps, but I got everything where I wanted.
