I know I have outlook express but after I did the windows live thing just outlook showed up, I also knew that was on my PC, but for the life of me I can't find Express.

OK after a tortuous search ..  Nice one MS I found these instructions to export them http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/outlook-help/export-contacts-HA101870639.aspx

I got dragged to a BBQ
Will have to pick this up in the AM
Essexboy take the rest of the night off.
Thank you for all your help today.

The directions from MS are for outlook 2010
I have 2000, there is no Options tab under file.

I found Outlook Express 6 and all my email address are in it, how do I get them into Windows Live.

[essexboy]

Copy the *ENTIRE* OE message store folder to the desktop. (Folders.dbx must be included).
Open WLMail and: File > Import > Messages > Microsoft Outlook Express 6 and browse to the desktop where you saved it.

I tried doing that but for some reason it will not let me. What am I doing wrong?
I also tried In Outlook Express, click on Addresses>File>Export and follow the prompts, which give options for exporting different types of address books. If uncertain about which type to choose, try a CSV (comma separated values) file. This will create a plain text list with the various items such as Name and Email Address separated by commas. Give the file a name along with a .txt extension. This should make the data easily found and importable into Windows Live Mail Contacts.
But EXPORT is Grayed out.

[essexboy]

Within the OE folders should be an address book file with the 3 letter extension .wab have you got that ?

[denebuff]

How do I find the 0E folder

[essexboy]

They should be in one of these locations, the GUID is a string of numbers  :

C:\Windows\Application Data\Outlook Express\{GUID}
or
C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{GUID}\Microsoft\Outlook Express

You may need to show hidden files :

1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2.Click Appearance and Themes, and then click Folder Options.
3. On the View tab, under Hidden files and folders, click Show hidden files and folders.

is there any way we can do a remote?

[Secondmineboy]

You could use Team Viewer: http://www.teamviewer.com/en/

Or via Avast remote assistance.

[essexboy]

We need to determine a time when we are both on and can use the Avast remote connection

[denebuff]

I have Team Viewer, You let me know whats good for you. I know your 5 hours ahead of me.

[essexboy]

Would 8 pm (my time) be good for you that would be 1500 for you

I would like to use Avast as I do not have team viewer

To use Avast

It is Help > Remote assistance
Click Get assistance and a code will be generated
PM me that code
Leave Avast open on the desktop, as the minute you close it the connection becomes invalid.
If you want to break the connection at any time then just close Avast using the X
