How do I import my contacts?

[Shanti]

I saved the file as a pst on my pc.
Now, as i try to import it on my new laptop, it says i don't have permission.
Can someone help?
I've tried everything.

Here is the right way to do it: Copy the .PST file from your CD or removable
media to your hard drive. Right-click the filename and select Properties,
and make sure the Read Only box is not checked. Then open Outlook, click
File | Open | Outlook Data File, and browse to the .PST file. It will open
in your Folder List and you can then copy contacts from it to your other set
of personal folders.

I did all of that and it still says i don't have permission to open the file.

Now it is telling me that i have everything BUT the contacts on the file.
So i imported it but the contacts aren't even there

Importing will not help anything -- trust me. What exactly is "telling you"
that you have no contacts in your file after you've opened it? Also, you
never mentioned your Outlook version.
