Hi. Just got a new Gateway XP Pro machine w/ a DVD burner. Spent most of
today trying to export/import my Outlook Express messages, address books,
etc. Talk about hair pulling. The XP machine couldn't import the files.
Both my old and new machines have the exact same copy of OE6. Same build
too.
As a last resort I tried coping the folders off the CD into a temporary
folder on the XP. Now I can import them, no problem. Question. What would
cause my XP not to read a data CD correctly? I've been burning CDs on my
old machine for a couple of years. No other machine had trouble with my
CDs.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated...Dennis
