How do I reload contact info from outlook.pst back to outlook.

[Nickster]

My operating system clashed (Windows 98) and I had to have it reloaded. All
of my data was successfully saved to a folder and reinstalled on my computer.
I need to reload my contacts and calendar back into Outlook. I've located the
outlook.pst file but do not know how to transfer the data. Can someone give
me a pointer?

Just open the file in Outlook or set Outlook to use it.
You did not provide your version. Just read instructions for your version.
You can find them everywhere.
Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:
