import contacts

I created a csv file of my contacts from a win 7 pro pc with outlook 2007.  I now have a new pc and I want to import these contacts into the new outlook account.  When I do this I get this message:  "A file error has occured in the file translator to build a field map.  Outlook was unable to retreive the data file.  What am I doing wrong?  I also have tried an excel file import and export and it seems like it is working but no addresses ever show up in the address book.
