The method is a bit confusing.
Also, where do I paste everything on the new PC hard drive? And do I install OE on the new PC after I've done this?

You don't copy/paste anything, anywhere.
Will your new computer be running WinXP or Win7? (You implied WinXP in your first post.)

You import, not paste, into OE. Assuming your new machine is XP. If it's
Vista, their are different instructions. If its Windows 7, you have to decide what e-mail client you are going to use first as there is no built-in e-mail client like previous Windows versions. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP [Mail] Imperial Beach, CA "Jack B" wrote in message ...

Yes, New pc is WindowsXP. Note: I am not currently at "Old pc" or "New pc". Old pc now exhibits a problem with OE; OE will not let me make any replies to any emails or posts. It says "Outlook Express is incorrectly configured - please reinstall." I did find OEFB on Old pc and did a backup even though it said OE was running (it wasn't -- Task Mgr did not show it running). I'm not sure if that will work on New pc. It created two folders under a directory I made called Programs. The folders OEFB created are "OE freebie backupOEFBbackupApr25" and "OEFBbackupApr25" The "OE freebie backupOEFBbackupApr25" is empty, but "OEFBbackupApr25" appears to have all the identities. I have put them both on New pc under Programs. Should I try a OEFB restore on New pc then load Outlook Express? "Bruce Hagen" wrote in message ... You import, not paste, into OE.
