Success with the Favorites, but only by dragging and dropping. (The import
method wouldn't work.)
On the address book, not so lucky: First I moved the address book folder
from the CD to my hard drive. When I try to import it to Outlook Express, I
get an error message that says it's being used by another application. When
I try to open the old address book on the CD, which is found in
Window/Applications/Microsoft/AddressBook, I get the same message. It's
simply the file on the CD they burned for me, so no other application can be
using it. Does this make any sense? Am I looking at the wrong Address Book
file?
