Moving from Office 2003 trial to XP (2002) -- will .pst work?

[Phil]

I got a new computer with Office 2003 90 trial installed and used it for all
90 days (a count down to expiration would have been nice). I own a full
version of Office XP Student Teacher and want to install it now. With Office
2003 shut down due to the expiration, I can't export the emails I've received
during the trial period.
Will I be able to open the 2003 outlook.pst file with the XP version?
Is there any way to export the file from 2003 while it's disabled?

any help appreciated.

If you did not intend to purchase Office 2003, I would have suggested
removing it and putting on your version.

As it stands right now, if you cannot open the .pst file in Outlook, chances
are it is in unicode format. If you have mails that you cannot do without,
set your system clock back a week or so, open Outlook, create a 97-2002 .pst
file and copy your unicode .pst file to that one. If that does not work
(not sure about turning back the system clock - never had to do it), do you
have a friend with Outlook 2003 who can convert the file for you?
