I did read your latest reply and I thank you for you thoughtfullness. I am no
closer to solving my problems then I was a week ago even after spending the
last 3 days and most of the nights trying to get my messges saved to CD's. I
just keep getting error messages after the burning process has run it's
course and the CD is blank. I did get desperate and put some of my deceased
sister in law's message I really chearish on floppy discs for now but they
don't hold much and I had to use a half dozen of them to save just a few of
her messages. Some of the messages are too large for the floppy discs so
they're not saved yet. I went to the site 'afterdawn' to look for help there
with the and have written for help with the burning problem but they don't
seem to be as fast with responses as these sites. I don't know what else to
do without help. I went to the Nero site to see if there might be updates for
the software but can't tell. I just don't know what else to do in order to
save my messages so I can try to move on to the suggestions about
uninstalling and resinstalling like you suggested in my other thread. If you
were in my area you would have my system. LOL Thanks again.

To backup messages to a readable CD:
Create a folder on your Desktop, then in Outlook Express open the folder
with the messages you want to save. Highlight one message, then Ctrl+A will
highlight them all, (or hold the Ctrl button down while you select only the
messages you want), Now, drag and drop them to the folder on your Desktop.
(Easiest if the folder shortcut is on the Taskbar).
Now you can copy that folder to a CD and you will be able to read the
messages on the CD by double-clicking on them.
The downside of this is that messages that have the same subject will be
overwritten. To avoid this, purchase:

Easy way...
1. Open OE
2. Select (highlight) what you want to save. Ctrl + A selects all
3. Drag the lot to a folder, You can then Burn that folder or its
contents
to a CD
I burn CD/DVD's all the time. I even have the equipment to, and do,
transfer
my video tapes to DVD so it's not like I'm unfamiliar with burning. For
some
reason I can not get this 'Easy Way' to work with trying to save my
messages.
I would love to be able to get this to work because I'm trying to get my
messages off of my hard drive. If anyone knows how I can accomplish this
or
what the problem could be, since I'm not able to get this to work, please
let
me know. I have some messages from a relative who is now deceased and I DO
NOT want to lose her messages. I am desperate to get these messages saved.
Thanks for any help I can get with this.

I would like to know whether I can transfer or save my e-mails, from
Outlook express into a cd or a dvd or just in a file in my hard disc.
Thanks in advance!
