Outlook express email saved to windows vista

I use my PC for mostly business and have 4 + years of detailed email (outlook express) information stored in folders on my current PC. I just bought a new HP which has windows vista. "After" I bought the new PC, I was told that NONE of my emails from Outlook Express can be saved or opened in my new PC. I can't afford to lose this info but also do not want to keep a second PC in my office just to read my old Outlook Express emails when I need them.

ANY Ideas on a program that will allow me to do this?

You could try to move the outlook express data over.

If the old pc is an XP Pc then look in drive letter:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

If the old pc is vista then looking in drive letter:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook

Look for your emails. There should be a bunch of accounts with a file name ending in .pst
