Outlook Express in Windows 7

just loaded Windows 7 into new computer.  How do I add email?  instructions say Outlook Express won't run in Vista - but my old computer has Visata, and OE runs under Windows Mail program.  So now what do I do?

Outlook Express won’t export its data or emails due to a “MAPI error.”

Outlook Express won't export its data or emails due to a "MAPI error."

 

I'm trying to move my wife's email from outlook express on XP to outlook on  Win8Pro and when I try to export the data from OE it says can't export due to MAPI error. No further explanation is offered. Her BTX files are where they are supposed to be and I moved those, but there is nothing newer in there than 2006.  Apparently there has been a MAPI error for quite a long time. Is there any other way I can get her email messages off of there and onto the new computer's Outlook? It seems like it's going to have to start with exporting them out in some other manner and remember the data files haven't been updated for 7 years. They're just sitting there getting old, but I don't want those old files anyway.
