I have an old PC with win 98 o/s What is the best way to transfer my old
address/ contacts to the new PC with XP o/s. I could make the hard drive of
my old PC as a slave in the new if this would help
 
Hi,
This transfer should be easy. With Address book open on the old machine, use
File> Export. Export to WAB should work. Export to "Other Address Book" Text
(CSV) should also work. If the WAB file is too large to fit on a floppy
disk, a CSV file will be smaller. Copy the WAB or CSV file to the HD of the
new machine, rather than trying to import from removable media. If you
transfer via a CD, you may have to remove a "read only" attribute before
importing to the new machine.
