[Frank McGlynn]

My computer crashed and I had to reinstall win xp. My outlook calendar and
contacts and address book are still on the hard drive but i din't know what
they arte. Can i reinstall office without losing theses files? Is there some
way to retreive them for a new machine i bought? Thanks
