problems transfering Outlook 2003 files to Vista

Greetings all;
like most, my new laptop arrived with Vista. Having installed my Office 2003 on the new laptop, at least 2 problems so far have come up:
1) I cannot SEND email from outlook - DESPITE the fact that the Email Accounts -> send test message works fine, and
2) my very own Outlook tells me that the format of my Contacts.pst folder on the older laptop is not supported (I tried import, save as, copy, any number of things - all unsuccesfully).
Thanks for any advice (would I be better off reformating the entire new drive and installing XP from scratch?)
