Question: After switching from 98 se to xp I lost my address book and all my pictures . Is there any way to recover these items ?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer: Windows 98 had a different file structure than Windows XP. You're old files should be on the C: Drive in a My Documents folder. This is different than clicking on the My Documents on the Windows XP desktop. To find your lost files double click on My Computer, Double Click on C: and look for My Pictures and My Documents in the root directory. Your old files should be in those folders. (I'm making an assumption that you did a software upgrade to your old PC to make it run XP.)

Happy Hunting!
