As I mentioned earlier, your MUD (Microsoft User Data) is located here: Hard Disk/Users/your_user_name/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2004 Identities/Main Identity In your previous email, you noted that you had a backup of your original hard disk, so then you presumably have a backup of your MUD folder on the backup hard disk. You can drag copy the old MUD folder (with all its contents) from the backup disk to your startup (internal) Leopard disk. Just make sure to drag it to where it belongs. It belongs in the location shown above. For Entourage, you do not need anything from your "Previous System" folder. All you need to do is: 1) Reinstall Microsoft Entourage from your original installation disks. The installer will create a new MUD folder in the location shown above. 2) Drag the old MUD folder from the backup disk to the proper location on the startup disk. Note that if you already reinstalled Entourage, and you already used Entourage, then any mail in the "new" Entourage MUD folder will be replaced -- lost -- when you drag the old MUD folder to your internal HD and replace the existing MUD folder. If you did use the new Entourage, and you want to keep those emails before they are overwritten, just click on the message inside Entourage, and drag it to your Desktop (or a folder on your Desktop). After you drag your old MUD folder to your startup HD, thereby replacing the existing "new" Entourage folder, you can start Entourage. When Entourage is open, you can drag the email (files) from your Desktop into Entourage. 3) Set your Entourage preferences as you like them, since your old prefs are gone (in the "Previous System" and related folders). 4) Do the Entourage updates when you are ready. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Roger S.
