    Hi all,

    My XP build has been pretty well wrecked as I lost a system file and had to use Repair Console. This solution allowed me access to files, but the registry has been lost and most apps don't work. Outlook 2003 (and all other MS apps ) don't load. The computer thinks they are not installed and I can'r re-install as the windows installer is also not working.
    I am going to install XP Pro on a new hard drive. I will then be able to access the drive that my current Outlook is loaded to, but how can I get the Personal Address Book form the old Outlook into my new Outlook if I can't run the old outlook?

    TiA.

    Once Outlook is reinstalled click on File->Import and point the function to the older dirve/folder

    C:\Documents and Settings\Your User Name\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
