Hi there,

I didn't get that clearly, but still I consider that you are trying to
import a PST file which was exported from a different machine.

Steps:

1. Locate the exported PST file in the new Vista Machine where ever you wish.
2. Open MS Outlook 2003 and go to File->Open->Outlook Data File-> and locate
the PST file you transferred. -> Click open.
3. Now you can see the folder structure in the Folder list view at your left
side.

Hope this help.
Thanks.
