My system C drive on my main machine failed the other day with a refusal to
even have any OS recognized. So I replaced it, and restored an image from
True Image from the recent past.

Apparently there was some small corruptions in that image. And I have a
strange situation in Outlook Express 6.

All works well, except for when I click on FILEIMPORTMESSAGES to import
some dbx files from the past, or another machine running OE6. I have these
DBX files stored in a folder on my main machine, and the import has always
worked very nicely.

But now, when the import screen comes up, it is totally blank - nothing in
it.

I know a work around to do the import. But I'd prefer it it worked normally.
I can create a new folder in LOCAL FOLDERS, and name it to what I'd like.
Then I can go into my DBX archive folder, pick a DBX file, and rename it to
what I just created in my OE. Then replace the new blank folder with the
folder from the archive, by just overwriting it. That does work - I tried
it, and it still does work OK.

I clicked on FILEIMPORTADDRESS BOOK, and a "good:|" window did show there.

Does anyone know how to "repair" OE6? I am running IE8, so some of the
suggestions I've seen won't work, as they imply that OE is part of IE, and I
don't want to mess with OE8.
