New computer wants old information

[Simone]

Is there a way to get all the stuff from Outlook on my old computer to
Outlook on my new computer? I have Outlook 2002 on both the old and new
computer, adn I have alot of contacts, calendar events, and emails saved on
my current computer that I would like to get over to my new computer. How do
I do that?

The PST file contains the information you want. Here's how to back up your
information, transfer it, then recover:

Help! I copied the old .pst files into the right folder of my new computer.
When I opened up Outlook I can see that my calendar info is there b/c the
"outlook today" thing has my calendar dates. The problem is that this box
keeps comming up that says, "A program is trying to access e-mail addresses
you have stored in outlook. Do you want to allow this? If this is unexpected
it may be a virus and you should choose no." I keep clicking yes, but more
and more boxes just keep coming up, and it won't let me do anything. How do I
make it stop so I can get back to business?

What Add Ins do you have? Check under Tools > Options > Other > Advanced >
Add In Manager.

Also, do you have FAX software or synch software for a handheld installed?

I have "Net Folders," but thats it. However, I think I may have found the
problem. I thought they were the same outlook, but apparently my old computer
has outlook 2000 and my new computer has outlook XP. Is there a way to make
it work? I really hope so, I have several hundred contacts!!
