Digital Certs

Hi,
I'm trying to export/import a digital cert from one pc to
another but without success. I have Windows 2000 5.00.2195
ervice Pack 4 (with IE 6.0) on the machine I'm trying to
export from and Windows NT 4.00 (with IE 5.5)on the
machine I'm trying to import on.
I have tried all three formats (DER, Base-64, PCB) but to
no avail. I seem to be able to export ok but cannot import
the file into the Personal store area of the NT box.
Cannot see cert after import action has been performed.

What am I doing wrong ?

Regards and thanks
Pat

To import the certificate and its private key, you must include the
private key in the export and export to a PKCS #12 format (*.pfx). When
you import to the new computer, this will import the certificate and
private key for use as you require.

But...

The private key must be enabled for export, which was decided at the
time of acquiring the certificate, if this option is not available, you
will not be able to export/import this certificate
