I hooked up an external hard drive enclosure to my new computer and installed the hard drive from my old computer to retrieve the files stored there. I can find everything but my email messages from outlook. If I go to the Outlook under the Programs folder and open it, there are several items. I clicked on the one with the Outlook icon labeled 'msimn' but I get an error message "Outlook Express could not be startted because msoe.dll could not be loaded". Is there another way to access my old emails so I can transfer them to the new computer?
Thanks in advance...

Hi.
A very common question, how to get your email from an old inbox.
It sounds like you are trying to open up the program and look at them that way?
You need to locate a file which, in Office Outlook is a .pst file which contains your email, contacts and other details.
I am not sure whether the .pst file is the same for Outlook Express, so I suggest using Google to search for "Locate Outlook Express inbox file".
Hope this helps!

Thanks,
Joseph Middleton
