Hi Mike First of all, I am unable to download the new version for OE6 from the sendspace link you provided or the JAWS-users programs page. Both sites show a file name of oe6_exe with an underline rather than a period and a file type of all files. I also tried to use the download link on the site for the documentation, but was told I didn't have permission to use the page.
I've tried importing the address book as a wab file and as a text coma separated values file. I've tried copying the old email folders to the new identities folder and also importing the messages from the old files to the new ones. I either get an error message doing the imports or when I copy the folders nothing shows up in Outlook Express. I also tried exporting the messages that had been received on the new computer and the address book without success. So the only solution I see is to uninstall OE and start from scratch. Thanks again for all your help. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Mike B.

What do you mean by restoring his emails & address book? Are you trying to import the address book as a .WAB file? Are you trying to move his email from another computer to this 1 you're working with? Below are steps showing how to move / transfer DBX files from 1 computer to another, written by Moderator Richard Q. Justice: I tested this by copying folders from Outlook Express on Windows XP, and pasting them into Outlook Express on Windows 7 64-bit. Whether your system is set to show or hide hidden folders should have no affect, since you are accessing each location with a direct file path. How to copy and transfer your messages in Outlook Express from one computer to another: 1. If you are using Identities in Outlook Express, open the Identity you want to transfer messages from. 2. Go to Tools, then Options, and then the Maintenance tab. 3. Here, tab to the "store folder" button, and spacebar that. 4. Now, tab twice and you should come to the file path where the folders are stored, this path is already highlighted, so just copy it to the clipboard, cancel your way out of the dialogue, and close Outlook Express. 5. Press the Windows key + the letter "R" to open the Run dialogue, paste the file path from the clipboard, and press enter. Doing this will place you in the proper Identity folder where your messages are stored. 6. Next, copy the folders here that contain your messages, and put them in a location that can be accessed by the other computer. This could be a USB flash drive, or some network location for instance. Note: If you have more than one identity in Outlook Express, you will need to repeat the steps above for each identity. 7. Open the same identity in Outlook Express on the computer you are transferring the messages to, and create folders with the same names as the ones you copied from the first machine, then follow steps 2 thru 5 as shown above. Note: When creating the new folders, they must have the exact same name as the folders on the first computer. 8. Now navigate to the location where you saved the original folders, and copy them to the clipboard, then return to the Identity folder you just opened in the step above, and paste the folders there. Note: If the folders have been named properly, you should get a dialogue telling you that the location already contains folders with the same name,, so just tab to the copy and replace button, and spacebar that. 9. Finally, open Outlook Express and the proper identity and check to see if your messages are in the folders you created. Take care.

I won't be working with my friends computer until Tuesday. But he has been using Outlook Express with AVG for a couple of weeks and it's been working fine. The only problem is that I cannot restore his previous emails and address book. Also thanks for the Revo instructions.

Also, hang on a little bit before installing OE6 while I check to see if there are any problems with running AVG & OE6. I'll let you know as soon as I find out. Take care.

I downloaded the OE installer from the internet, but don't remember the specific site. But when I can install it again, I believe I'm going to use the OE installer from the JAWS-Users programs page. The computer I'm working is using the free edition of AVG anti-virus. But thanks for the tip about Nod32. I don't recall if I used the run as administrator option from the context menu, or just logged on as an administrator. When you say that Revo can uninstall OE, I'm assuming that you're referring to the free version. I have read that you dumped the pro version, and after looking at it I can understand why. To uninstall using Revo, do I just enter the path and name of the .exe file for OE in the edit field and choose uninstall? Thanks again. ?P.S. Is the iBarstool compatible with any bar or is it proprietary and requires an iBar. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Mike B.

OE6 can also be uninstalled from Programs & Features or from the OE6 folder in Program Files X86 but, from past experience it's best to use Revo. Also, what antivirus are you running on this computer? Also, what OE6 installer are you running? Are you running the installer as the Administrator? It must be installed using the Admininstrator option from the context menu. Once the installation is complete it's necessary for the computer to be restarted to complete the installation. Have you looked in Users / Name Folder / App data / Local / Identities to see if default folders are installing Here? I ask about which antivirus because if you're running Vipre, Vipre has to be uninstalled before OE6 will install. Yes, I do mean uninstalled & not just turned off! &, if you're running Nod32, there is a settings change that needs to be made in the Nod32 menues. Take care.

But I must have done it improperly because I can't import messages and the address book from his old XP computer. I would like to completely uninstall Outlook Express from his new computer so I can re-install it properly. Since under Windows XP, Outlook Express was a Windows component instead of an application, there is no uninstallation entry for it, so it can't be uninstalled using Add/Remove Programs or cCleaner. Would it still be shown as a Windows Component in Windows 7? Could it be uninstalled using the Revo Uninstaller? If so, will the Free version of the Revo Uninstaller do the job on a 64 bit system?
