Subject: Windows XPHome-OutlookExpress Address Book

I recently installed as a fresh install WindowsXP Home.  I successfully
imported all my Outlook Express identities and all emails by copying the
folders into XP.  Everything works fine except my address book.  I saved the
*.wab file and then moved it over to XP.  I placed it under "Documents and
Settings", "All Users", "Application Data", "Microsoft", "Address Book".
Just to be sure I also copied it to the appropriate place in the "Windows"
folder also.  All that will show, however, in the Address Book is the names
of my email accounts..  The contacts will not appear.  I have done this on
other OS upgrades and did it on my wifes machine and it works fine.  I am
sure the *wab file is not corroupted.  Am I missing something?  Is there any
way to read a *wab file so that I can get all my contacts and copy in
manually?  Thank you,    Bill Patton
