Default Copying old.dbx file into new machine

Hi,
After browsing and trying various solutions available in the forum,
I have still not been able to open my dbx file that I saved from my
old machine running on windows 98.
The method that should have worked was copying the dbx file into a new
folder on my new machine running on XP, then importing the messages
from my desktop folder via OE 6. However, I get an error when I try to
select+open the folder, saying "No messages can be found in the
folder ...." What could I be doing wrong here? Been 3 hours of trying
now and getting irritated
