I got a "Windows cannot load the locally stored profile" message.
I've managed to make a new User profile and imported all my files from the
original User profile....but I've been unable to find/import my emails
....Outlook Express is acting as if it hasn't been used and there is nothing
in there...anyone any suggestions?....wil my original email files exist
somewhere....or has Outlook erased them?

Search files with a .dbx extension.
You should find a number .dbx of files with the file names the same
as the OE folder names you created.
