bobbyraw is Correct, you would need to go into outlook express and to import and choose mail and account settings. Then you would direct the path to the location of the >dbx files. Same with address...

Laptop, or desktop? XP? Stupid question but is it service pack 2 ? Or did you just install it?

Kill vista sidebar, I'm not sure how to do thru menus but you should be able to kill it through the registry. REMEMBER! even though you might kill it in HKCU or HKLM there are still 4 more processes...
