Importing Favorites

[Mitch]

Trying to import IE Favorites from a W98 machine to my XP
Machine. I ran the Export wizard, which saved my old
Favorites just fine. At least I think it's just fine; an
htm file resulted which lists my old Favorites. But when
I run the Import Favorites wizard and try to save into
either an existing Favorites folder or a new one, the
wizard claims to finish successfully, yet at the end of
the process I get "Not a valid bookmark file." How can I
import these old Favorites? Thank you.
