I am not familiar with the program you used, so I can't speak to that. If
you had asked about moving OE to a new machine, I would have suggested this:

If you are transferring to another PC, and have access to a Windows XP setup
CD, or if both computers are running Windows XP, see:

As far as your current problem goes, I don't know if a reinstall of OE will
help, or not, but here is the method.

How to Reinstall or Repair IE6 and OE6:

Although written for WinXP, it works for all Windows operating systems 98 or
newer.

OE6 on a new installation of Windows 2000 worked perfectly at
installation. I then used Outlook Express Backup 6.5 from Genie-Soft to
try to move OE from a Windows 98 machine to the Windows 2K machine. After
I did the move, which I have done successfully many times before, and
after the move reported as being successful, I cannot open the Address
Book or any email message in the 2K machine. I get the error message that
"This message cannot be opened." "The Address Book is not installed
correctly. Reinstall Outlook Express."

Well, I've read a ton of articles on reinstalling Outlook Express, but I
cannot find one specifically for Windows 2000. One had me try to rename
the OE folder, but that didn't work because files were in use. Another
(XP) wants me to edit the registry, but I don't want to do that until I
confirm that the directions for Win2K are the same as for XP.

Please provide any assistance you can. Thanks!
