Default Transferring Outlook data from desktop computer to laptop

Outlook 2003 is installed on a desktop computer running WinXP-Home. Recently
added a laptop running Vista Home Premium. Installed Outook 2003 on laptop,
but can't seem to get data transferred using import/export feature. Exported
the data to a flash drive, copied that file onto the laptop's desktop, and
every time I try to import it the attempt fails. I may be overlooking a
simple step, so a detailed list of what to do would be greatly appreciated.

Never use import and export to move data between Outlook instances. See
