I didn't even see the link on your reply. I apologise and thank you for the
simple help. I did say I was an eejit.
Will try webpage solution in the morning.
Thanks

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.
