outlook express and xp

[warrior76]

I upgraded to xp pro from win98se. I noticed I no longer
have a "tasks" folder in outlook express. I've looked
everywhere, but can't seem to find it. Is there anyway I
can recover this?

Also, I can't seem to write to either my CDRW drive
(plexwriter 12/10/32A) or my DVD burner (Sony DRU-500A).
I've been surfing for solutions but nothing seems to
work. Any Ideas?

Assuming "tasks folder" is a local OE folder you had prior to the upgrade:

Perhaps you are thinking of Microsoft Outlook(not OE) which has a "Tasks"
folder by default.

Outlook is packaged with MS Office or can be purchased stand-alone, I believe,
but not sure on that.

MS Office or Outlook are not part of Windows XP.
