If you're actually using Outlook, open Outlook Express and import the Hotmail account settings. Then, export those settings from Outlook Express. Copy the saved settings file to the new system, import it to Outlook Express, then open Outlook and import them. It's a little convoluted but the settings will be transferred properly. HTH -pk
