Hello,

Depends whether it was a clean install of Vista as to how you recover, or if
you mean you have an external backup of data

You'll have to restore your backup of your pst-file(s).
Simply copy them back from your backup location to a folder which is
convenient for you such as (My) Document\Outlook

You can then reconnect them to Outlook via;
File-> Open-> Outlook Data File...
