Default Outlook 2003 error: this is not a .pst file (it is)

Hello!

A colleague sent me a dvd containing three pst files of important
contacts, to be used in my outlook 2003. It uses unicode (not 97-2002
pst files) I am using windows xp.

I have copied the files from the dvd, and removed the write protect
option.
I've tried to open the file
using the file/open/outlook data file option
using the file/import option
creating a new pst file and trying to import the files
into the new pst file created
someone suggested changing the file type association from
office data file to outlook file. Didn't work for me, though.

I've read ms online help, and some discussions online. Seems to be some
ms outlook backup tool I should have (where do i get that?) Still a bit
foggy, would appreciate some help.

Please do help urgently! I need to make a good impression and get to
work, not bleat about being unable to open the file!!

:-)
Zainab
