I had Office 2007 on my old computer and Office 2007 on my brand new
computer. I have stored my contact list on USB disk by exporting the .pst
file. But I can not importe same file to my new computer on Outlook 2007! How
do I do?

You certainly don't export and import. You have Outlook data. Just open your
Outlook data file in the other installation.
The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the
mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:

Firstly, as posted on all the Outlook groups on a daily basis, import/export
is NOT the way to transfer data from one Outlook to another.

Just copy the pst file, paste it on your new machine, do NOT overwrite the
existing file, and in outlook, do File-Open-Outlook Data file. copy the
required data from the old file to the new...
