    Use the option "Import from another program or file" and then select "Personal Folder File (.pst)". Good thing we aren't converting an Exchange offline archive.

    Windows 7 Is it Windows 7 worth the money?

    You forgot bashing the goverment which is even more off the question asked. I totally understand how pirating comes in as price point is always an issue. Most people if they are smart aren't going to mess with beta bugs and in July is when the first RTM came out, if my memory suites me...

    Windows 7 Files before upgrading

    Actually it is important as it is the boot partition and is marked active. Its all part of the new security and recovery system 7 carries. But if you think it doesn't matter do as you wish personally it doesn't hurt anything Windows automatically makes it so what can one say.

    Windows 7 Loving Windows 7, Still not worth the $

    Personally I think Homegroup is a joke and actually hinders what I want to do in my home network, YUK! It is probably the one thing I hate most about 7 and is designed for people with no knowledge of computers. Secondly open source people are not going to embrace the idea of paying for...

    Windows 7 Email transfers to Windows 7

    I haven’t used Outlook Express for some time now but all of you data should be found in a “.wabâ€Â￾ file which is probably found under your user profile in Application data\Microsoft… It might be easier to search for all .wab files on your C: partition and then backup that...

    Windows 7 No Upgrade from XP to Windows 7

    I agree fully Dave and they should do exactly that. What I find strange is you can still buy XP SP3 at almost the same price as Vista and they are not going to support upgrades from XP? I think that will change as too many people will complain about that. Right now you can buy Vista with a...

    Windows 7 Is it Windows 7 worth the money?

    Yes it is only $30 + $1500 or more for the hardware to run it. Just like printers & ink guess where they are making up the price difference. Well XP was supposed to be gone almost two years now but since Vista was so wonderful XP didn't go away, at least Microsoft woke up with that. Now...

    Windows 7 Files before upgrading

    Windows 7 likes to make a reserved partition, 100MB~, at the start of the drive so it would be smart for you to add a partition and move/copy your important files to the second drive "D:" for example. Then when installing Win7 delete the first primary partition, "C:", and let Win7 make it's...

    Windows 7 Windows 7 keeps reinstalling hardware drivers at startup

    I’ve had problems like yours with video & audio drivers and once Windows has the wrong driver installed even if you uninstall it, it will come back until you can find a better driver it likes and that can be difficult to do sometimes. It seems to me that your problem is with your MB...

    Windows 7 Welcome to the Windows 7 Forums

    It's really no different then XP in this case most of what you want to do is found in Local Security Policy where you can set or define access policies. You can also choose to remove certin software, shutdown services, lock out cdrom's & floppies, or customize your own installation disc. You...

    Windows 7 XP vs Vista vs 7: Resources + More

    Windows 7 is what Vista was supposed to be. I would equate Vista to the old ME in all aspects but especially as to how it bloats. They have really cleaned up the code in 7 making it perform better and fixing many problems that are present in Vista, namely their networking amongst other stuff of...
