Can you tell me how to move an ost file for a computer running Windows XP Pro
SP2 with Outlook 2007?

Thanks

You can't, an OST is a mirror image of an Exchange Server mailbox and is
tied to the Outlook profile used to create it.  Simply let it rebuild on the
new computer.  The only other option is to copy its contents to a .PST file
which you can move.

This is how I did it for OL 2003.  I don't know if it will work for OL 2007,
however.
