RE: migrate address book

Hi and hope I can help, when you say you added your address book did you copy
your address book from XP Outlook Express over into Windows Mail?
If you're trying to move it back to an XP computer then I don't think you
will be able to as they're in two different formats.

When you say you can't add any to this one, do you mean when you click on
add contact nothing happens? If this is right then try making a written copy
of your email addresses and then delete every single one of your contacts in
the address book and try adding them manually as maybe an error occured when
you copied the addresses into Windows Mail and this is why you can't add any
new ones to it.
Then when you've added a couple click on export windows contacts choose the
CSV option save it to your documents folder then delete the ones you've added
and try copying your Windows Contacts back in and hopefully this time when
you choose add new contact it will work as all it takes is a small error on
copying to mess things up.

Hope it works,
Chocreaper.
