Since I don't have a blog...

Saturday (early) morning - PC randomly shuts down, assume it's windows.
Sunday - PC still randomly shutting down, assume it's windows.
Later Sunday - open pc, 12v atx connector fried on both psu and mobo.
Went to store and bought new psu and mobo ($120ish) install them. Doesn't boot.
Monday - school.
Tuesday - return to store to swap mobo. Installed new one, works fine.
Booted up.

BSOD!!!11111

Turns out Windows doesn't like BIG hardware changes.

Forced to install XP on an old 8gb drive to create an image in Norton Ghost of my original install.

Installed XP on the original partition, with an image on an untouched partition.

Wednesday:

Here's my main problem:

in my urgency to get my pc back up and running (now it is), I was not able to 'properly' back up my outlook settings. Thusly, I can't export my rules and mail accounts through outlook, but i restored all the mail (.pst) successfully.

Anyone know where I would be able to find my mail account settings and rules in my old C:\?

aparantly rules and accounts are/cannot be exported?
I'v copied both the outlook.pst and the generate backup.pst from when I decided to screw Vista and go back to XP.

Imported both and only my emails got imported, no settings/accounts/rules.
Bummer.

You can export them, but you have to do it from within Outlook :(

You are supposed to uninstall all drivers, and run drivercleaner. :p

Now with Outlook, I don't know. I never used it.

... how do I uninstall drivers if I can't boot into windows?
