Can't Read old Outlook Express 5 messages

[Haydn]

Old DBX files have been transferred to DVD -

I can see them and transfer to directory location where
the new Windows XP/Outlook Express 6 reads the
new/current files

The new system is not recognising the old files

an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're
accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support

your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number. Good luck!
