Outlook contacts

[Guest]

Hi, is it possible to move all my outlook contacts from my old computer that
is running win98se to my new computer running vista?

Absolutely. Do you plan to run Outlook on your new Vista computer, or will
you be converting from Outlook to Windows Mail? The transfer process is
quite a bit different going from Outlook to Outlook than it is going from
Outlook to Windows Mail.

Hi, I thought i would just use windows mail, so from outlook to windows mail.

OK, what you'll have to do is export your contacts as a .CSV file, take
this file to your Vista machine and import it with Windows Mail. If you'll
be moving message files as well, export them from Outlook to Outlook Express
on your 98SE machine, take the OE .DBX files to the Vista machine, and use
these instructions to import them into Windows Mail:

How do I back up my files and settings?
