I recently bought a compute that has Windows Vista 32-bit OS. I was using XP
and have Outlook 2007. After loading Outlook 2007 onto my new computer,
there i no option to restore a back-up. Going back to look at the program on
XP there is. Have I missed something? Why would this not be an option using
Vista because I have a lot of information that I would like to move to this
computer. Thanks for any help or insight anyone can provide!!

The MS Backup addin on Outlook is a seperate download/install from MS.
However theres no need to use it to recover the origonal data files.
In WinXP locate your *.pst files (they are hidden files)and with Outlook
closed copy to memory stick
In Vista PC copy from memory stick to eg Documents Folder
In Outlook, File>Open>Data File.......browse to the files - Do NOT use
Import -
