I want to reinstall Windows Xp soon, as I got a virus and after cleaning the computer doesn't work as smooth as before. I gives some strange erros and sometimes it justs hangs up... I want to backup Outlook Express emails and settings before reinstall, and restore afterwards. Any help?

Copy the .dbx files to a folder on the Desktop, start Outlook Express,
File > Import > Messages > Microsoft Outlook Express 6 > Next > Import from an OE6 store directory
Browse to the folder on the Desktop to complete the Import.

Or another option which I prefer is True Image.
