Vista - Importing my address book from Outlook Express to Windows Mail

I recently got a new computer and I want to know if there is a way to import
my address book from Outlook express to Windows Mail I have the same e mail
address but have no clue how to get the info...I would appreciate if anyone
could help me Thanks so much

I had the same situation today. I used an external hard drive (a very good
thing to have for backing up your documents). I opened my address book in
Outlook Express, copied and pasted the data to the external hard drive, then
transferred the external hard drive to the new computer and copied and pasted
the data into the Windows Mail address book.

Vista has a program called Windows Easy Transfer that you might want to try.
Start, Help and Support, search for 'Windows Easy Transfer' and it will give
you a description of the program and a link to it or, alternativelly, Start,
enter 'Windows Easy Access' into the Start Search box and you'll get a link
to the program.
If you don't want to try that program, the files in OE that you are looking
for end in .wab. You didn't say if your copy of OE was on your old computer
still. If so, copy the .wab file(s) to your new computer. In the Start,
Start Search box, type in 'Windows Address Book' and you'll get a link to
same. Import the .wab file(s). Open Windows Mail and click on Contacts
icon. Your OE contacts should be there.
