reinstalled Windows XP but OE still won't open.

Thanks, thanks, thanks!! I had spent hours trying to resolve this problem.

I did have to go to the last step in order to open OE. Now, I'm concerned
about importing the folders. I have not checked each one, but those that I
have checked are not 'read-only'. Do you think that it is safe to import
these folders? We save so many messages that they will really be missed.

Thanks again for your help.

carlton,

It is certainly worth a shot. You know what to do if OE won't start again.

You might import one or two folders at a time, close and restart OE. That
way you narrow it down to a couple of folders if you do have a problem.
