Had a computer disaster in the last few days when I tried to install Windows XP Professional. To cut a long story short, I had to call a computer tech to come and sort out the mess the programme made of my hard drive. The solution eventually was to delete XP, leaving the previously installed '98 in place. That went well with apparently no loss of my valuable graphics files and only a few minor hiccups to deal with.
After the technician left, I went back online and fired up Outlook Express. I noticed that the programme seemed to "think" I was a new client and produced "welcome" messages and instructions and suchlike stuff. My address book remains intact but all me email messages in their files that I had set up appear to have completely disappeared. Does anyone know if I can do anything to recover them?
Answers should be in words of one syllable or less because I am a gold medal techno-retard.
