Default Transferring Contacts

I'm getting ready to install Office 2007 on a Windows XP computer. I've
already done it on a Windows Vista computer, and was able to save all of the
emails from the earlier version of Outlook, but none of the contact names and
addresses. Is there a way to move those from Outlook 2003 to Outlook 2007?

Where are the names and addresses stored. If they are stored in the Personal
Address Book then you should import them into the Contacts folder of Outlook
before moving them (using File, Import and Export). The Contacts folder is
the new Address Book (since Outlook 2000) so you should use this.

Actually, Outlook stopped using a PAB after Outlook 97 (which still used
Contacts but required a PAB for Distribution Lists). It only retained
backwards compatibility with PAB's for the next decade, and now has finally
dropped even that.

Then you did not transfer the correct data file or do so correctly. This
information is provided here daily. The file you need is your Personal
Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the mail, calendar, contacts etc are
stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:
