I Installed XP on a friends PC a few days ago and left him reinstalling all his apps and data. One problem he has is restoring his (outlook express) address book. Like me he doesnt use the 'export ' function to backup a copy of the wab file prefering instead to do a copy and paste of the file itself via explorer. The trick that works for me is to go into the new copy of outlook, create an email address record, shut outlook down and them copy the backup file straight over the new .wab file.
This has worked fine for both of us in the past but hes stuck this time. The only cause I can think of was that he was previously running ME and that for some reason i can't figure there is an incompatability between the 2 versions of windows.
Any possible solutions received gratefully.
