Transfer files & settings...

I replaced a computer running XP Home with one runningVista Home Premium.
I ran the file & settings transfer wizard, but when opening MS Mail on the
new computer, it's not picking up my mail & addresses from OE.
What did I miss?

I'm sorry -- I meant sticks. Pointed sticks.

Windows Vista Easy Transfer is the program you
