Opening Outlook 2003 files from old computer in Vista Home Premiumcomputer
 

Here's the problem - I have a backup of Outlook 2003 data files (I
assume all of the pst files too) from my old XP computer and I have
installed it in a Vista Home Premium extra slot that also has Outlook
2003. The computer reads it as F: drive and shows many numbers for
files. But every time I try to open one, I'm denied access.

These are all my data files from my old computer, which I need badly.
Can you help?

Copy the pst-files you want to open to your Documents folder (I recommend
creating a subfolder there called "Outlook") and then open the pst-files via
File- Open- Outlook Data File...

You probably need to 'take ownership' see Vista help
