I exported my entire emails from outlook before upgrading from windows 2k to windows xp. I exported my inbox from outlook into csv format, and then went ahead and installed xp.
However... After installing outlook / office xp- i emphasise here that it was a legit copy -not from warez sources - onto windows xp i encountered problems trying to import the files. I updated outlook to the latest version (office.microsoft.com) yet it was still to no avail. I would go to import, import from another file or program - select windows csv (thats what it is) and then click next- set the right location - and then click next- it gets to the bit where its about to show the status bar on the progress of the update, - and then it just closes! No error- nada- just goes.
Any ideas??? i know the csv file is ok -because excel can still view it; i really really need those emails so any sugestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
