I plan to install Win XP Pro on a system where I have Win98. I have tried to perform an upgrade which would retian all of my settings and programs without further actions on my part after the upgrade is completed. XP reports that I cannot do this due to "blocking issues". That leaves me to simplty make a fresh install which I am prepared to do. The one thing that concerns me is migrating my Outlook Express emails and address books. Is there a way to ensure that I do not lose this data. Previous upgradee have resulted in a loss of this data which I want to avoid if at all possible. I am so fed up with the instability of Win98 that I have to make this upgrade to save my sanity. Thanks for any help that can be offerred. Paul M. Feldman PCSOFT maintains many useful files for download visit our download web page at: http://freepctech.com/downloads.shtml
