Please help. The other day I backed up all my files to restore my computer, which was faulty. I've done this before and had no prolems.

I am now using windows XP.

After restoring, when I tried to copy Outlook Express to the desktop from the CD drive or even view it, all it brought up is the new version which was automatically installed as part of the restore process. This means I can't access my address book or messages which I urgently need.

what have I done. Surely It is impossible to 'overdub' a written CD with the new incomplete info.....

Thanks
Deni
