How big is the file? Can you burn it to a CD, or copy it to a floppy disk?

I presume both PCs have Ethernet cards, should we need to do a direct connection?

find all your dbx files. copy them a cd and then onto new pc in same folder they came from usually,
C:\Documents and Settings\yourname\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{8D32DF8B-D3B8-4783-A0C5-FE37E2FC8659}\Microsoft\Outlook Express

then start outlook up and it should read them from the folder, if not goto file>>import and find file that way dbx file that way.
