MS Office XP Pro and MS Office 2003 Enterprise edition

I have been using a MS Office 2003 Enterprise Edition I received 4 years age.
I have had no problems with it and been applying the updates on line through
Windows Update.
Recently Windows required the validation action. My Windows XP Pro passed
but MS Office 2003 failed. Microsoft says they invalidated the key so I can
not get any further program and security updates.
I had to get a new hard drive and was not able to get updates for Office
2003 so I installed Office XP Pro and got all the updates.
However when I tried to import my .pst files into Outlook from my 2003
Outlook they would not import and the dreaded error message said "can not
import .pst files from a later version of MS Office.
Any help and advice on how I can get my 4+ years of e-mails, folders, and
contacts into Office XP Pro.

Thanks,

Don

No - not if you do not have access to Office 2003 any longer (you would need
to export the email in some other way - not PST.)

My suggestion : Get office 2003 or Office 2007 legitimately so you can
continue using what you are used to. Office XP is leaps and bounds behind
Office 2003 in many ways.

That happened to me, too. I went back to Office97. No more problems.

Were you able to get your folders, contact list, and e-mails created in 2003?

I don't use Office for anything but word processing and a few simple
spreadsheets. All my data is fine.

Happy for you.
I am going to make some adjustment also.
