I have copied my contacts from Microsoft Outlook onto
a diskette, which are in a .pst file. I now have a new
computer, with only Outlook Express 6 on it. How do I
import my contacts on the diskette in .pst format into
Outlook Express? Simply trying to import it doesn't seem
to work. I can import all kinds of files, but not a .pst
file.

Please help,
Saskia

Simple answer, you can't. .pst files can only be opened in Outlook. You
will need to install Outlook on your computer, open the file in Outlook and
then export from Outlook to Express.
