You can't just copy program files from one computer to another. They need
to be installed on the new computer so as to set the registry entries, put
the dll files in the windows directory, etc.. If you get your original
office install disks and reinstall the files, then run the updates
(Microsoft update) then copy the .pst file and open that with Outlook, you
should be more or less there. You might find it helpful to use the Office
files and settings transfer wizard AFTER you have installed the programs.
