Just upgraded my computer and Vista is the OS. I saved Office on my external hard drive thinking I would use it with Vista. Can't get it to work. Am I doing something wrong or will it not work? I've lost all my Outlook contacts, calendar, Word, Excel, Etc. Please help!

What exactly did you save on the External drive? In order to get Office to work on the new OS, you'll need the installation CD, and you'll have to reinstall Office.

Let me know when you've done that, and I'll help you to configure Outlook to use the old pst.
