Default Importing pst file from Outlook 2003 (XP Machine) to Outlook 2007 (Vista Machine) - having problems

Don't ever export or import a native outlook file. If the pst file is on a
CD, copy it to your HDD, (do NOT overwrite the existing file, ie put it
somewhere other than the default location), remove the Read-Only attribute,
then in Outlook go to File-Open-Outlook data file and navigate to where you
copied it to. You then have two choices: either drag the data from your old
pst file to the new, or set the old file as the default delivery location,
and just carry on using it as normal.
