Vista - Installed VISTA cannot open Outlook Express

I get an error on the .dat file suggesting I check permissions (or it is in
use). I check Permission and allowed full access. i still get the error.

I upgraded form XP and DID NOT transfer files over seperately.

ANy help appreciated.

Try "Windows Mail", it's been renamed and updated.

Outlook Express does not exist, and can not run in Vista. Are you referring
to Windows Mail?

What dat file?

If you want to import messages into Windows Mail from OE then use File |
Import | Messages and point to the location of the OE dbx files. See
www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx The import procedure is the same.
