i followed the instructions in the help link but it didn't work. I had copied
express folders and address book onto flash drive from old computer and
copied onto hard drive in new computer then I did an import and nothing
happened.

You have data files that was available to you in Outlook Express on a
different machine, yes?
You've moved the data to this machine and immediately tried to import in
Outlook, but no data comes in.
If you open Outlook Express on the machine where you have copied the data,
do you see what you are looking to import? Outlook can not import raw
Outlook Express data files It won't just look at a (what are they again? I
always forget. dbf?) file. Outlook Express is the engine that is used to do
the import. If you open Outlook Express and the data is not there, then
that is why nothing is being imported.
