Recovering Address Book from Windows 98 Install

[Fallschirmjager]

I have a corrupted Windows 98 installation which can't be repaired. Im wondering how to extract the files for the Windows address book and move them onto a new install. Does anyone know where they are stored, or a tool that does a good job of extracting and restoring them?

If you can open the address book. File>export>address book>floppy a

If the address book is corrupt, no clue.

Where is the address book stored is what im asking. Not the wab.exe in program files, but the actual data.

Have you tried searching for *.wab?

i thought outlook used .pst files for their Addy Books

either way your looking for archive.pst if your using 2k < newer outlook

Yes outlook uses .pst but I was referring to outlook express since he mentioned WAB. I wasn't sure which one he needed.
