Importing emails into Vista Windows Mail from Outlook Express under XP from another computer

Trying to import old emails from a PC running Outlook Express 6 (6.00.2600)
under XP to a new PC running Windows Mail (version 6.00) under VISTA.
Encounter "An error occurred while initializing MAPI." While i found the MS
documentation on this issue it does not have a solution. Does anyone have a
way to move and then import emails?
Thank you.
