I am trying to export Outlook backup files (.pst) to my
desktop so that I can then save them on CD.
When I go to open them, a message says this is not a
vaild WIN32 application.
Am I doing something wrong in the process?

Don't export but simply copy your pst-file to a CD when Outlook is closed.
When you want to restore it copy it back to your harddisk and remove the
"Read Only" file attribute. Then connect to it by using File-> Open->
Outlook Data File.
