RE: [PcTech] Netscape Problems

[Rob Dixon <rob.dixon@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have just had my hard disk go on my Thinkpad T30 whilst on holiday.

IBM France sent me a new drive and, to save time whilst they found me an 
English language version of XP Pro, I purchased a French copy and loaded 
it.  I then downloaded Netscape 7.1 and restored the back up CD 
containing my e-mails, etc. that, fortunately, I had brought with me.

I cannot access my old address book through Netscape nor can I find the 
one that is now available to me outside Netscape.  I have copied my old 
.nab file to what I believe to be the correct place but Netscape ignores 
it.  I have added a record to the new address book and searched for 
files/folders changed with the same date/time but cannot see anything 
that has changed.  I even tried creating a second Netscape email account 
but that gives me access to the same address book as the first account.

There is an import facility for addresses but this only works for 
earlier versions of Netscape

Has anyone any idea how to solve this problem or where I might find the 
answer?

P.S. I use Netscape because it is not a Microsoft product.
