Tiger Lily

i am trying to import my e-mail from the old computer to the new computer in
outlook express

i keep getting an error message that the folder is empty or is in use by
another application

this is a CD that was installed to my desktop

i have a number of CD versions of my e-mail and a couple of desktop versions
left to play with

it's most important that i access my old saved e-mails

can anyone help me please?
 
Outlook and OE data files are set to READ ONLY status when they are stored
on a CD and neither Outlook nor OE can use them in this fashion. If you
find them set this way, you must reset them to READ/WRITE before they can be
used.
