How can I import my old XP address book to the Contacts list in Windows 7?

I can't import my old xp address book into the new contact list in windows 7.  Is this possible?  Thank you, Käthe

Hello

Windows in Windows XP address book has been replaced by Windows Contacts in Windows 7.

If you have performed a custom installation of Windows 7, please visit:how restore personal after having performed a custom Windows Vista or Windows 7 installation

To get the address book from Windows XP to Windows 7, you need to export the list of contacts of the Widnows XP computer first and then import the file to Windows 7.  If you want to export the address book from Windows XP and import it into Windows 7, please see the following steps:

a. launch Outlook Express in Windows XP and click on file > export > address book

b. export the address book to a text (.csv) file

c. Select Save the location and all the contact information you want to export, and then click Finish.

To import contacts in Windows 7, go to the link below and follow the steps:

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/import-export-or-change-the-format-for-contacts

Note: You may only be able to restore the data from Windows XP to Windows 7 If you have performed a custom installation of Windows 7 without formatting the hard drive. If you have formatted the hard drive during the installation of Windows 7, you cannot restore the data.

I hope this helps. Let us know the results.

Thank you and best regards,

  • Several "personal address book" in the Contacts

    As you can see from the screenshots, I have several "personal address book" in the Contacts. Right click on any address book of Contacts and remove it is gray. I have a gMail address book, a special group, I created and collected, too.

    So I have several abook.mab displaying in Windows Explorer; one is 56KO, others are 2kmb. If I move the files, they are recreated everytime I run the application of TB.

    It started when I restored a profile in a clean install of TB. How can I solve this further?

    No additional input or suggestion so I backed up my address book, uninstalled TB, reinstalled TB and imported the .csv backup. This solves the problem, as can be expected.

    Too bad, it was necessary that I had to create, download, and reset all.

  • How can I import my old passwords of key3.db key3 and files for the new firefox signons.sqlite 41.0?

    I recently updated my PC and my old hard drive in system is placed as a slave in my new PC. Seen key3 and signons.sqlite key3.db files of the old firefox, how to import passwords saved in the new firefox 41.0?

    Thank you.

    How old was the older Firefox? Firefox 33 and then use this pair of files:

    • logins. JSON -. saved passwords.
    • signons3.txt - this file stores your database key for your passwords.

    If you want to move the old in your current profile (to replace new empty files for the most part), this is the fastest way to open your folder of the currently active profile. Either:

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
    • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

    Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

    • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
    • (menu bar) File > Exit

    Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename logins.json to something like logins.old and key3db to something like key3.old.

    Now copy the old two files in this folder.

    Launch Firefox back up again. These connections are available?

  • How can I combine an old file history browsing in the current?

    Several weeks ago my PC C: drive has been replaced, and Firefox has been recreated before I could copy on my old profile to the new drive. Now I want to recover the old browsing history, but of course the new profile already has his own, more recent places.sqlite file, that I don't want to lose.

    How can I combine the two stories?

    It is not possible.

    You cannot merge the history.

    One way to do this would be to use a separate profile and copy the file places.sqlite this profile (file delete an existing places.sqlite-journal).

    Use him copy / paste to copy the elements of the story in a folder of bookmarks in the Menu folder bookmarks.

    Export Favorites to an HTML file and import this HTML file in the current Firefox profile.

  • How can I read my existing Kindle electronic books on my new Surface with Windows RT 8.1 (previously downloaded on my desk in my library)?

    I use my local library to select and download Kindle eBooks on my desk.  I copied several of them to my new Surface.  I also installed the App "Kindle" on the Microsoft Store, but he can't find the books I copied in the 'Documents' folder under a file of 'books '.  Whenever I start the application, it offers me an option to 'BROWSE', but will that go to the SkyDrive, then it looks for anything (although I copied one of the books there).  So, what should I do now?



    For the readers of this issue, my Librarian has solved the problem as follows:

    No idea how to "Sideload" e-books of the Kinlde of application view.  However, to use the office, go to the website of library book, select a book to consult, let it send you to Amazon, download the book (repeat for the other books if necessary) then go to the Tablet Surface, open the Kindle app, click SkyDrive and make sure that the list is updated, click on the new books at the same time and let the Tablet download each one.  This method works.
