Hi,

 

Step 1: Export you contacts to a file from the XP computer
- Open Outlook on the XP computer, on the File menu, click Import and Export.
- Click Export to a file, and then click Next.
- Click Comma Separated Values (Windows), and then click Next.
- In the folder list, click the Contacts folder, and then click Next.
- Navigate to the folder where you want to save the contacts as a .csv file.
- Type a name for the exported file, and then click OK.
- Click Next.
- Click Finish.

 

Step 2: Copy the csv file to a flash drive or cd and then copy it to your Vista computer.

 

Step 3: Import the csv file to your Outlook in Vista:

- Open outlook on the Vista computer, then on the File menu, click Import and Export.
- Click Import from another program or file, and then click Next.
- Select Comma Separated Values (Windows), and then click Next.
- Click Browse, locate the file that you have copied in Step 2, and then click Next.
- Click your Contacts folder or another folder that contains contacts, and then click Next.

That should do it.
