Ageing parent had a Win95 computer, which died. We got a new machine
(WinXP) and I put the HDD from the old machine in mine to rescue the
data.

I tried booting a spare machine from the old HDD, but it died halfway
through the boot with (from memory) a IOS driver failure.

Hed like to get his Outlook Express email addresses back. Problem is
that the disk contains only one WAB file:

WINDOWSApplication DataMicrosoftAddress BookUserMPS.wab

Opening that with OE on my machine suggests that its empty.

There are no *.dbx files anywhere on the disk.

It does have:

WINDOWSmailbox.pst

and

WINDOWSmailbox.pab

but I cant figure out a way to do anything sensible with them. Opening
the mailbox.pst with Outlook on my work lapdog again suggests its
empty.

Is he SOL, or does anyone have a sensible suggestion?

program to extract the email addresses.

When you say opening, do you mean running Outlook and doing it properly,
or, just right click open with? The latter wont work.

Oh and, it could be that the version used (considering its a win95
machine) isnt compatible with newer Outlook(express) so you might want
to take the older option.

Dammit, if this doesnt make sense, Ill fire up my work laptop and give
it to you verbatim.
