I just upgraded my computer from Windows XP to Windows 7 (also upgraded motherboard, CPU, RAM and video card). I eventually figured out that there is no more Outlook Express and I have lost a ton of important information I had saved in my Outlook folders. I told the Computer guys that I don't know much about computers and trusted them when they recommended I switch to Windows 7. I wish they had said something about losing Outlook Express but they didn't. I don't care about the emails that would have come in, but as I mentioned there were a lot of important things I had kept in some folders I made in there. Is there any possible way the computer guys can retrieve it, or any way I can retrieve it? The business was closed by the time I got home and I have to wait until tomorrow to ask, but it's killing me not knowing if is indeed possible for them to somehow find my folders. Thanks for all who reply.|||when your computer was upgraded from windows xp to windows 7, xp was removed because 7 doesn't support upgrades only clean installs and a clean install of 7 was performed not sure if anything's recoverable from the orginal xp install.|||For some reason, Microsoft didn't include it in Windows 7. You can download the current replacement, Windows Mail Live, from Microsoft.

Your mail files should still be intact, unless you reformatted the disk. The new app should be able to access them.
Actually, I suspect you could probably still download Outlook Express for XP and install it on Windows 7. Try poking around on download.microsoft.com.
