I want to reinstall Windows Xp soon, as I got a virus and after cleaning the computer doesn't work as smooth as before. I gives some strange erros and sometimes it justs hangs up... I want to backup Outlook Express emails and settings before reinstall, and restore afterwards. Any help?

Rather than try to reinvent the wheel and give a lesson to you on this ... I am going to let Microsoft do it for me ... Cool
