Default Importing rules problem

I exported rules from another computer running Outlook 2003 and then imported
them into this computer. But all it does is show the rule name with a
checkmark in the box, but there is no rule associated with them. Plus, I am
unable to edit them, delete them, or even uncheck the box. Any suggestions?

Clean them out and try again would be my suggestion. Use the /cleanrules
command line switch.

Got 'em out, and I think I will just enter them manually. Not that many.
Thanks for your help.
