Very likely, someone will know how you can restore the TB! message
base by using only TB! and your current O/S.  However, if not, then I
do have one suggestions which would work, as long as your message base
files themselves are not damaged.  However, it requires using another
program.

Mailbag Assistant, which is available from Fookes Software on the 'net
and can be used in a free trial version, is an e-mail database and
archiving tool.  In this case, it could be used to open your .tbb
files and then to save them in Unix format (which the program calls
"generic").  File/Export will get you to the correct dialog boxes.
Then, from within TB!, you can import the Unix mailboxes
(Tools/Import).  They will convert on import to .tbb files.

This process might clean whatever problems are in the message base, if
that's where your problems are.

I'm not convinced that's what causing the problems, though.  However,
I'll let someone else venture guesses and remedies for what could be a
compatibility problem.

One last word.  If you're going to use Windows, WinME could be about
the least stable and forgiving O/S you could choose.  If your system
won't handle XP, then you might research whether Win98SE (only SE) is
a better choice.  If your system can handle it, though, Win XP is
good IMO, and works well with TB!
