Lost data because of XP reinstall cannot import .bak file

[joeyD]

Hi,

I reinstalled XP and cannot import my old data. There is an address.bak file with my data, but I cannot figure how to import it.
Please advise.

Thanks,
Joe

Reinstalling Outlook should not destroy your data. Search your hard drive for a *.pst file. That should be the file that contains all your Outlook data. Address.bak sounds like a Palm desktop file, which Outlook cannot import.
