How do I back up Outlook Contact info to cd, should I ever wish tochange pc,
or lose the data on this pc? I have backed up to Personal Folder File.pst,
and made a file called My Contacts Backup, as described by Outlook help, but
I it won't allow me to copy it to cd, nor will it allow me to open it!
Please help?

Contacts do not exist as a separate file. Backing up your PST file will back
up your Contacts. There is ample information already posted on how to back
up your PST file.
Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:
