Adress Book from XP to VISTA?

Can I copy an Address book from Windows XP and somehow import it to VISTA?

You may have to manually copy the address book from XP to CONTACTS in Vista.

Before you do, type CONTACTS on the search line to see what is there.

Outlook Express: File > Export > Windows Contacts > CSV

Windows Mail: File > Import > Windows Contacts > CSV

I use Windows Live Mail, not Outlook Express.
Where do I copy or export from there. When I go to Export it only shows
Messages, not Address Book.

I've tried sending myself the wab from xp to my vista laptop and using an

never had such trouble. It would probably be faster to type it all in
manually at this point (not really). This is driving me nuts. Why won't
microsoft support it's own platforms a little more simply? HELP?

instead of readonly, which some transfer methods will make it. Also,
Windows Mail often has trouble using files on any kind of external drive,
so it's a good idea to copy it to a directory on your C: drive first.
A directory you create under your Documents directory is a good choice.
Then start Windows Mail, click on Tools, then Windows Contacts, then
Import, then Windows Address Book File (Outlook Express contacts),
then Import, then find the .wab file and click on it, then Close, then
close the Contacts window.
