Importing .dbx files from CD to Outlook Express

[Guest]

I just got a new laptop. I was using Outlook Express 6 on my old laptop and
am trying to import .dbx files to Outlook Express 6 on my new laptop. When I
use the import wizard, it gives me an error: No messages can be found in this
folder or another application is running that has required the files open.
This is definitely not the case and I have tried everything. Can anyone offer
step-by-step instructions to help? Thank you!

This newsgroup is for support of Outlook 97, 98, 2000, 2002 & 2003 from the
Office
family for Intel PCs. For Outlook Express (OE) support try posting in one of
these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.inetexplorer.ie4.outlookexpress for OE 4.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.mail.mac for the Macintosh version of OE

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).
