| | Outlook Express Address Book Morning All, My laptop was recently "fried" by lightning. I was able to salvage the hard drive. I've been trying to find the Outlook Express address book but can't. The old address book was in Windows XP and the new laptop is in Windows Vista. My old hard drive is recognized by Vista as Drive:F. But with out the old OS I can't find my address book. I've tried going to F: then to Documents and Settings, then to "user" (which is how the drive now recognizes me), but from there I can't find Microsoft to find outlook express. Am I screwed or what??? I would be grateful for any help you can give. Jim |
