| 725834 | 2008-12-04 11:32:00 | I had backed up the outlook express 6 before I formatted the Hard Drive by using Citisoft software as shown in the link below www.softpedia.com After I have done fresh installtion , I am trying to restore the backup archive., but when I do restoring I receive this error : An ERROR has occured. Please close Outlook Express and Internet Explorer if they are running and retry again But both Outlook Express and Internet Explorer are not running. I tried google but I could not find something helpful |

| 725835 | 2008-12-04 17:36:00 | welcome to Pressf1 what format is the backup files in .If they are .dbx (messages) and wab (address book) there is an alternative method. Post back and let us know. Btw you don't need a special utility to back up restore these files, it is a very easy copy / paste operation or even use xp ( and maybe vista) files and settings transfer wizard ( I have never tried this though) |

| 725838 | 2008-12-06 05:16:00 | are you using unregistered shareware version as I get the same message using the unregistered version I've got a feeling the the unregistered version may have some functions disabled. you could email the authors support address but I dont think youll get much of a response unless you are registered user. good luck |

| 725839 | 2008-12-06 05:51:00 | Next time I suggest you use Amic Email Back-Up (www.amictools.com) which is freeware and has no limitations. I think there are others out their but this is the only one I have seen that backs up the address book, settings, mail and news accounts, message rules, blocked senders lists and signatures along with your email. :) Blam P.S As for your current situation it seems you have to buy it to access some features...worst thing is, the file isn't in a universal format so it can't be done from another free program. :s Edit: Saw another one today called kls mail backup (www.kls-soft.com), seems quite good:D |
