OE cannot use the PST file at all.

If (1) Outlook was also installed on the machine running OE and (2) OL was
using this PST file, you could (3) export OL contacts to a CSV file which
you could then (4) import into Address Book via Address Book: File | Import
| Other Address Book.

Otherwise, you're SOL.

your response, but can you give me a little more info.

I recently restored an image of a HD and without OE 6 setup on it,
another
group setup OE6 on it and now I need to put the CONTACTS back in Outlook
Express. I have found the PST file on the old backup of the pc but
don't
know how to use it recover the contacts. When I look on the pc I don't
find
a PST file on it. The pc has XP Pro. Can someone tell me how to get
the
contacts back into OE6 from the old PST file ?

OE doesn't use or read PST files; open Outlook, set your PST file as its
default and export the Contacts as a CSV file. OE's Address Book can
import from.
