Imported them now. Thanks.
Nasty B word... I have them on another computer at home, this WAS my backup
OS is Win95 on PII 350! Needs upgrading, some software is unusable. Extended periods of 100% CPU usage are commonplace There is a vague connection between clicking buttons and getting responses.

Whilst updating IE on a work PC to work with some new software that needed v.5.5+ it also updated OE and deleted all my received and sent email but without warning or prompting. Nothing crucial lost but it is nice to keep a copy. Where do I find it?

IIRC OE folders are stored as individual files e.g. inbox, sent items, etc..
They're in your profile on a NT4/2000/XP box. What OS you running?
I'll not mention the nasty "B" word then

On XP/2000 should be in:
C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\[long-string-of-numbers]\Microsoft\Outlook Express
Surprised (I know I shouldn't be) that the messages were not transferred to the new install. Have you tried usingthe import wizard?

95 we're in the 21st century now
I used to install networks in some of the Glasgow health centres and the poor GP's were lucky to have any existing kit. If they did it was usually 4-5 years old.
Does the NHS not supply you with kit or does the practice have to finance it's own.
Anyway, glad you got it sorted.

The NHS is supposed to buy us the kit but constantly runs out of money. There are promises for complete funding, the reality on the ground is different.
Our server is a PIII 500 with 512MB RAM. We need at least a single Xeon at 2.4 GHz and 2GB of RAM.
The clients are 350-433MHz PII or Celeries with 64MB. We should have 2GHz P4 with 256MB of RAM.
Worse still, we are told that if we upgrade with our own money then we will be penalised when the next round of upgrades occur, plus there are support issues.
The new "improved" software we have just received keeps crashing. I have to disable all the new features on it, otherwise it takes THIRTY SECONDS to draw a window whilst the client runs on 100% CPU usage and is effectively frozen. Printing a prescription has about a 75% "success" rate because it often crashes. Then I have to restart the computer by unplugging it from the wall because the soft on-off switch doesn't work when it crashes and it has no hard on-off switch. Then I go through a merry dance with Scandisk, safe mode then the screen is full of pixellated junk and has to be powered down again and restarted. One bad crash takes about 10 minutes total to recover from. Don't get me started on the server.
Be my guest if you want to run XP in 64MB
