Default cannot view restored files in oe6 xp sp2

I restored oe6 files from ghost to my oe6, but they have a different identity
number even though they should be the same identity, and when I click on the
file, it opens 0e6 but they are not viewable there. What can I do to view
them? thanks

Choose to import from an OE6 store directory and Browse to the folder
containing the DBX files.
Note: If you did not include Folders.dbx it will not work.

I tried it but it didn't work. There is a folder in the identity folder
that says folders.dbx. But I get an error message saying either application
is in use or something else.
Is there any way to get these messages?

Are you in your true identity and trying to import from the *backup*
identity? That is what you want to do. Is Folders.dbx in the backup
identity? See if you can manually import them.

How to restore individual dbx files:

Make sure the files are not Read Only. (Right click and choose Properties.)
