I have new machine with Vista. I have exported pst Outlook personal folders
et al from to spare hard drive then imported to new laptop. Message coming
up "persfonal folders not compatible see administrator" - why ? Who is
administrator on personal laptop? Warning - I am an eejit so very limited
in
computer knowledge and ability. HELP!!!

Sounds like you created an Outlook 2003/2007 PST and copied it to an Outlook
2002 or earlier system, but this doesn't make sense with a new PC, since
Outlook 2002 or earlier won't work on Vista. Please state what versions of
Outlook are involved and explain why you decided to use export/import rather
htan just copying the original PST.
