I've tried sending myself the wab from xp to my vista laptop and using an

I've
never had such trouble. It would probably be faster to type it all in
manually at this point (not really). This is driving me nuts. Why won't
microsoft support it's own platforms a little more simply? HELP?
The security changes it's asking for are probably to mark it read-write
instead of readonly, which some transfer methods will make it. Also,
Windows Mail often has trouble using files on any kind of external drive,
so it's a good idea to copy it to a directory on your C: drive first.
A directory you create under your Documents directory is a good choice.
Then start Windows Mail, click on Tools, then Windows Contacts, then
Import, then Windows Address Book File (Outlook Express contacts),
then Import, then find the .wab file and click on it, then Close, then
close the Contacts window.
