question not answered in Vista

[CdLsRN]

I have a Dell XPS 420 desktop with Vista Ultimate with documents, pictures,
mail, favorites, etc. that have been imported from Windows 98se.
I can click on existing favorites and Links (that were imported), but I get
an "unknown error" message when I try to place a new favorite or link into
the list. Just can not figure out how to do it. Neither could Dell. I know
they were imported correctly as it was done by a Microsoft MVP, and
everything else seems to be working just fine.

I posted this to Windows Vista group and no one answered. I called Dell and
they wanted to go into my computer and change a lot of things around because
he didn't recognize anything that I imported from windows 98se. (My XPS 420
had a 750gb hd with 4 gb ram, I added, with MVP help, so I know it was added
correctly, 1tb hd and partitioned 6 partitions.) I would not let the Dell
man change everything around, especially after we had worked so long to set
it up. Any help would be appreciated. Favorites and Links are the only
non-fixable (yet) problems I have had. Ginny
appreciated.
