My old computer has Outlook Express Version 5 under
Windows 98. My new computer has Outlook 2002 running
under Windows XP. I don't know how to import my address
book from the old system to the new system. I
tried "export" but it did not work. Thanks!

Since you aren't using the same email program on each system, you'd have to
import your Windows Address Book file from your old OE program into OE on
the new system. After that you can import the Contacts From OE into Outlook
using Outlook's import Wizard (File > Import and Export > Import Internet
Mail and Addresses).
