nstalled 07 first then remove 03 or just save my .pst files and then load

Do not attempt an "in place" upgrade.
Uninstall Outlook 2003 completely and backup your Outlook data file.
Install Outlook 2007 and configure your mail account settings from scratch.
Then open your previous Outlook data file in Outlook 2007 and set it as your
default.

The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the
mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:
