I am trying to figure out how to make a copy of my Outlook 2003 contacts on
my laptop VISTA so that I can put them on another laptop. Got everything
else figured except that. HELP!! Many thanks.

You have two choices: 1. Install Outlook, preferably version 2003 or
later,
under Vista. Version 2002 will also run under Vista, but with a few
problems.
Windows Mail needs part of Outlook to be able to understand Outlook files.
A free trial version, if you can find one, will run more than long enough to
help
in the transfer. 2. Transfer first from Outlook to Outlook Express on your
old
computer. Then copy at least the .wab file to a directory on your new
computer,
make sure the copy is read-write instead of readonly, and import it into
Windows Mail.

In Outlook
File - Import and Export - Export to a file -
CSV (Windows)
Contacts
etc....
