Okay, I am hoping to get some assistance. I have Office 2003 Professional
installed on both my old Vaio and my new ThinkPad. I want to transfer the
..pst file from one to the other. I exported the .pst from the old computer,
burned a CD, downloaded the file to my new computer, and that is where I get
into problems. It was saved as a .pst file but Outlook is not recognizing it
as a .pst file. I have tried importing it. I have tried opening it from
within Outlook. Any ideas?

Outlook 2003 PST's are not compatible with earlier versions. You would have
had to create a PST in the "Outlook 97-2002" format for it to be compatible.
That's why exporting is such a bad idea. It doesn't allow you to choose the
format.
