?? Copy ALL Outlook Info to New Machine ??

D

I'm trying to move all my Outlook information from one machine to another.
I've tried copying the PST file. This got all my mail messages, etc., but
my address book didn't come over for some reason. When I attempt to open
the address book I get this error:

"The address list could not be displayed. The Contacts folder associated
with this address list could not be opened; it may have been moved or
deleted, or you do not have permissions. For information on how to remove
this folder from the Outlook Address Book, see Microsoft Outlook Help."

I have no idea what I need to do in order to fix this. What is the proper
method to simply move ALL Outlook information from one machine to a new one?

The address book is not contained within the PST file you need to copy the
PAB (Personal Address Book) file do a find files on *.PAB and copy them
over, then relink them to Outlook using tools > services.

HTH.
