Trouble re outlook express addresses

[casanovai]

Just had a problem with my computer, apparently has to do with the energy source. In view that I urgently and constinously need use of a pc, I have a friend´s equipment in which I installed, as slave, the hard normally used in my pc, in which I have all my documents.

My hd was not installed as master and for booting because it has WXP and the borrowed pc is rather old and has low ram. What I urgently require is to obtain email addresses from my address book. I already tried to use the file Wab.exe un der Program Files\Outlook Express of my hd, but, surprisingly, appears as empty. I do not know if a problem could have occurred which affected my address book, or if there is a reason why it may show as empty, although it is not.

I though that if I could not find an alternate way of getting my email addresses, may I could go to the files relating to sent messages under Outlook Express, in view that recently I had to sent messages to most of the people I need to contact now.

But I don´t know if the latter is possible. I would greatly appreciate your help to find a way to look at those messages and get the addresses I require.

OS of the borrowed equipment is W2K.

Thanks for all the help you may offer. Believe it is outmost important to get that information as soon as possible.

Regards,

Isabel

Hey

What you need to do is to find in the old computer the file Outlook.PST.
Copy it to your new computer or new HD.
After doing so set your outlook to use this file, through options in tools menu.

Good Luck

simplejohn, Outlook Express doesn't have PST files but DBX ones.
