XP/Vista .contact files

mp100 · 07-23-2008

Hi,

I have had to revert back to XP due to some compatibilty issues I have been having. Just wanted to know : is there any way of importing my .contact files that I created in Vista back into Outlook Express running on XP?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi, mp100, and welcome to the forums.

See Windows Vista Help: Import, export, or change the format for contacts - of course, this assumes you still have Vista installed....

Cheers for the response. Unfortunately I don't have Vista installed anymore. I did take a Ghost backup of it before I trashed the machine but I would hope that there is a solution that doesn't require me to restore Vista.

Any takers?

Thanks

Martin
