Outlook Express

aardvaak

My desktop is running XP Pro.

Would someone please tell me how I can save my emails in outlook express 6 they are contained in several folders including the inbox?

I am about to reformat the computer.

Also how do I start the reformat using the XP disk (if that is correct)?

Not trying to sound to patronising, but if you are asking about formatting disks etc.. are you sure you want to re-install XP?

The install is now over 4 years an the computer turns it's self off every so often for no apparent reason - was told the operating system is possibly corrupted in some way - unless you have any other ideas.

Is the reformat very complicated I have done Win 98 many times before.

I think his point was to move onto win 7 rather then XP which is getting on a bit now

I take your point but I wish to reinstall XP Pro because that what I've got and there is no need to make another costly purchase.

Sounds more like overheating, or a possible failing PSU? Corrupt OS usually results in failure to load Windows at start up, not random shutdowns-or are you getting BSOD's?

I have looked at the CPU and system monitor in bios ans seems ok at about 27-29
