Troubleshooting Transfer Mail/Address Book to New Computer

Just got a new computer with XP Media Center. Did a transfer of programs
and
files from old computer (XP Home Edition) last night using AlohaBob PC
Relocator. All seemed to go well, but Outlook Express on new computer
does
not have old email, folders or address book. Attempted to re transfer
these
files but AlohaBob says it's already done and won't let me redo it. Did a
search for .dbx in hidden files on the new computer and found them, but
they
are in a different file than shown in the "Store Folder" path in OE.
(It's
the same path, except that the long string of numbers/letters is different
and matches the path on the old computer). I presume that is why they
don't
show up. I thought I could fix it by changing the path to match the one
where they are stored, but the application only lets me browse and click
on
my desired location which prevents me from designating a hidden file.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Preferred solution would be to get the
path pointing to where the files are or files where the path is. I
thought I
might also be able to export the email and address book from the old
computer
and import to the new, but I can't seem to get this to work either. How
frustrating!
