Hi Sharon, I have Windows XP also. Thing is my identities are in a
different location than yours. For example
C:\Documents and Settings\Janice\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities
, just wondering if maybe this is part of your problem. See the local
settings in the string. I don't know, just trying to help out if possible.
Good Luck.
