reading old emails

[cec]

I have just installed Windows XP. I want to look at some
old emails which I archived with Outlook Express (WIN98).
These are in a .dbx file. When I try to open it I receive
a message telling me windows cannot open this file. I
have tried to import it into Outlook Express but without
success. Can anyone tell me how I can access this file
please?
