I am moving my files to a different laptop - same version of Office (XP
Professional) but an updated OS (XP, up from Win2000). I archived my email
files and copied them to a CD, then transferred them to my new laptop. When I
try to open them through Outlook, I get a response that filename.pst "is not
a personal folders file." When I archived them, I somehow applied a password
to several of them. There is no password prompt when I try to open them on
the new pc. Others have no password, and the failure is no different.

How do I get these files open? When I open the archives back on the original
laptop, they are fine. I just can't copy them.
