shortened story ...

old pc was running xp with outlook 98. old pc died.

new pc runs vista. outlook 98 will not install without errors. outlook 98 will not run after installation so i cannot associate the PST file with it.

question ...

i DO have both the PST & WAB backup files from the old xp pc. how can i get the data from these files into outlook express on the vista pc? if i use the IMPORT function in OE, nothing shows up. i assume because outlook 98 itself never fully installed in order to associate this PST file with a client.

thanks in advance.
