cannot export due to missing or corrupt data1.msi file. tried fixing it but,
I rec drive error when cd is put in during procedure. drive is ok. plays
audio. Just want to get my (100's) of contacts into MS Mail on new 64 bit
machine.

if MS Mail uses PST files can I simply port the whole thing. Thanks.

On your old computer, use Outlook Express to import all your Outlook 2000
data. The mail store of Outlook Express is compatible with the one from
Windows (Live) Mail which will allow you to migrate from Outlook to Windows
(Live) Mail.

Contacts can also be exported to a csv-file which Windows (Live) Mail can
import from.

Roady,

Outlook express is lookign for a WAP file. The only files associated with
outlook are the PST files. WAP must be encapsulated within?

As for exporting to CSV.that's when win2000 outlook is looking for missing
data1.msi file. I guess I'mjust hosed. Thanks for your suggestions.
