How can I open my old XP DBX backup files on my Windows 7 computer?

When I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, I saved all of my old Outlook Express DBX files on a backup hard drive.  How can I open these files DBX now so I can find something in my old emails?

The orginal .dbx files should be intact. You should have a .dbx file
for each folder in OE, more a "folders.dbx" that contains the folder
structure.
 
If they have been imported on WLM, the messages must be in a folder named
Imported files (or something similar, I don't remember exactly), under
Records storage.

    You have installed the software from the CD that came with the printer?

  • How can I recover my old data settings document files firefox bookmarks and favorites of ie8.

    I need to reinstall windows xp sp2 I turned off my pc by updating the os now I ask a question after the reinstallation of the sp2 would be it possible to recover my old data settings firefox favorites bookmarks of ie8 and norton antivirus 360 documents.

    You might see if this folder is located on your computer.  Depending on how you installed Windows, it could be an old version of some files in pre-installation.

    C:\Windows.Old\

    But beyond that, there's no other place I could think that perhaps it would be after a reinstallation.

    Shameless plug for the new version:
    If you used Windows 8, all of your documents, files, Favorites, bookmarks are saved on your Microsoft Account so that you can use them even if you get a new computer (or reinstall an old one).

  • How can I locate the folder where my backup files are stored on my internal hard drive? I want to delete all backup files

    operating system is windows vista laptop.

    I went into system restore settings and couldn't find how to locate my saved files. I think they take a LOT of space, I deleted all other unused files and I have more than 6 GB of free space out of 67 concert. Help, please? I don't know much about computers at all.

    Hello

    Follow the method of deleting a file of older backup using sub steps and check later if the problem persists.

    (a) open backup and restore by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, click system and Maintenanceand then clicking backup and restore.

    (b) click on Manage space. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    (c) to delete older backups of files under that data backup file, click on view backups.

    You can then select the backups of files that you want to delete, which will free up disk space. Remove an entry in the list will not affect the other backups. If you think that you don't need one version of your files from a certain backup period, you can delete that backup. We recommend that you always keep the most recent backup.

  • How can I open a html with Dreamweaver, the file in google reader?

    If I right click on the html code, I get no option properties, or anything to open it in something other than Google docs.

    [When I do that, it's like Google Chrome unless a 18 page document becomes 80 pages.]

    Is it so that you can not use Google Reader for collaborative work using Dreamweaver? You must work on your desktop and then sync to the cloud?

    First download the files of Google Drive and save to a folder on your local hard drive.

    Google Drive (Exemple: C:\YourSiteName\[file(s)]

    Open Dreamweaver.  Go to Site > new Site > define a local site folder.  See screenshot.

    In the Panel files (F8), you should see all of your files/folders site.

    Click + to expand the folders.

    Double-click the file to open it in the DW workspace.

    Since I installed SP2 on my HP computer a week or two ago, tab 'Open' of Photoshop no longer appears at the top of my screen of photos, but rather a 'Preview' tab, and I was not able to open an image in Photoshop.  Instead, when I double click on an image, it opens in the photo gallery Windows.  Not long after that I installed service pack 2, I also changed my default browser from Internet Explorer to Mozilla Firefox, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it.  Thank you...

  • How can I get emails from the Eudora backup files?

    In preparation for a full charge of Windows, I stored all the Eudora data files (e-mails, etc.) on a removable drive. The new version (v7), Eudora does not accept them. I would switch to Thunderbird. There is no version of Eudora running on my computer now if (probably) Thunderbird can't find them. Is it possible to load the emails stored in Thunderbird?

    The latest version of Eudora (Open Source Edition) was really Thunderbird with some variations and extensions. If that could not access your Eudora files, it is possible that Thunderbird is. It is possible to consider that the older versions of Eudora (who are 'real' or 'original' Eudora code) can be downloaded if you can use one of these old emails and/or perhaps export e-mails in a format as Thunderbird here. A lot of people still use these older versions of Eudora for daily email, but I would not recommend that as they are really old.

  • How can I get the utility auditor of system files (SFC) in Windows XP to search for the source files on a CD in a CD/DVD EXTERNAL drive instead of the CD/DVD drive internal Windows?

    I use a Dell Dimension E310 PC running Windows XP Media Center Edition.  The CD/DVD drive has stopped recognizing CD long ago.  (He still recognizes DVD but not CD).  I use an external drive to CD/DVD of Asus.  I keep getting messages that Windows need to replace versions unrecognized some Windows file and asks me to insert my source CD into the CD/DVD drive.  I checked the MS Knowledge Base and got instructions on how to use the utility (SFC) System File Checker to replace the unrecognized Windows files.  I started the process and inserted the source of CD files (recovery CD provided by Dell with the PC when I bought it) in the drive of external CD/DVD, but the SFC would not recognize it it.  He just kept asking me to insert the CD of source files in the CD/DVD drive.  So I have to find a way to get the SFC utility to find files in the external CD/DVD drive source - or I have to take the PC to the Geek Squad, buy a new CD/DVD drive and get them to install it.  Would appreciate any help you can provide.
