cant view/move the contacts old pst file 2 the windows mail on vis
about a year ago our old computer "crapped out", we were using(I think)
windows 2000 at the time. any way my wife gave me the chore of retrieving her old e-mail contacts in the old computer and putting them into our new one. so then we added the old computer's hard drive into our new computer temporarily so that I could get our old music files, pictures, etc. and put them on our new hard drive. I surfed and dug and shoveled through a lot of the discussions posted previously and I think I found several different variations that were close to my situation but it still did not work for me, or my brain could not comprehend the instructions. I found the pst file in the old hard drive and I need instructions, if possible, on how to retrieve them so that I can cross this chore off my list... I keep getting the error message "the different options for opening Contacts (wab.exe) from the Run command a blah blah blah..."-- thanks everyone, Charles

Of course not. You never mentioned you were not using Outlook.
