I am using windows XP Professional, and have had a complete system failure. I have my system backed up on a second hard drive. The problem is I can't get my original version of Outlook Express back. When I try to restore it I get an error message Any ideas ? All my email addresses are in the Backup somewhere, but I can't get them out !!! Desperate !
