MAPI Error During Exporting of email

Hi, I want to reformat my computer but need to save all of my email files
before doing so. When I try to export, I get a message stating "The export
could not be performed. An error occurred while initializing MAPI"

I've gone to the help section numerous times. I did try to download
something but they wanted me to verify my system and it could not be
verified. I purchased this computer 3 years ago from a major store so I know
that my XP copy is a good one.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Della
