recovering data
Recently purchased a new laptop with Microsoft Office Outlook 2003. I have
extracted the hard drive from my old, broken machine. I am trying to recover the data from Outlook Express and the following error message appears: "Outlook Express could not be started because MSOE.DLL could not be loaded". Am I able to install Outlook Express on to my new machine from the old hard drive. The laptop is not connected to the internet yet. I have no idea why i was using Outlook Express and not Outlook on the old machine - someone else set that up. Can anyone help? |
recovering data
Recently purchased a new laptop with Microsoft Office Outlook 2003.
Is the new machine running Windows Vista or Windows XP? Am I able to install Outlook Express on to my new machine from the old hard drive[?] No, but you may be able to recover the OE data from the old HDD and import it into OE (not Outlook) on the new machine, depending on your answer to the above. ...I am trying to recover the data from Outlook Express and the following error message appears: "Outlook Express could not be started because MSOE.DLL could not be loaded". Are you getting this error when you attempt to open OE on the old HDD or on the new machine? -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-IE, Mail, Security, Windows Desktop Experience - since 2002 AumHa VSOP & Admin http://aumha.net DTS-L http://dts-l.net/ Hopeless wrote: Recently purchased a new laptop with Microsoft Office Outlook 2003.

recovering data
If the new PC has Windows XP, the Outlook Express should already be
installed on it. In that case, start OE from the new PC hard disk (you cannot start it from the old disk) and select File, Import, Messages from OE6 and select to import from a Store Folder, not an OE Identity. If the new PC has Vista, it will not have OE and OE cannot be installed on it. But it will have Windows Mail (WM) which is the Vista replacement for OE and can import the OE data. In that case, see: Backing up Windows Mail and importing from Outlook Express to Windows http://www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx Import messages into Windows Mail from Outlook Express: http://windowshelp.microsoft.com:80/...7994f1033.mspx Once you have the OE data in either OE or WM (as applies) on the new PC you can turn to migrating to Outlook. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "Hopeless" wrote in message ...
