hey floor. I just upgraded to windows xp from 98 se. I took the old hard
drive out of the old computer and put it in the new one. Now I have a few
folders in outlook express and can't get my hands on them. One folder is
jaws where i stuck all kinds of little hints. I went to the old drive which
is local disk e, and went and found jaws.dbx and copied it to the clip board
ane when I went to the new outlook express and pasted it into the list it
said 0 items. what should I do.
