I attempted to install Outlook 2007 on a new computer running Windows 7. The
program attempts to find the exchange server. When it doesn't find it the
programs askes for an old pst file. When it doesn't it turns off. Program
tells to me that Outlook must be connected to change settings. I used
Outlook express on the old computer. I just want the program Outlook 2007 to
work without exchange. I also didn't plan to use the Outlook Express files.

Which files did you transfer from where to where?

In order to configure Outlook with your pst-file from your old computer,
configure Outlook first and then reconnect your original pst-file via;
File- Open- Outlook Data File...
