You might have figured this out already (and this is not related to the
problem), but in case you don't know: you can move the training database
from the old one to the new so that you don't have to start training again
from scratch.  The FAQ explains how.

Is it maybe disabled by Outlook?  (This only applies if it's Outlook 2002
(XP) or above).  Try going to Help->About Microsoft Outlook->Disabled Items
and seeing if SpamBayes is listed there.

Otherwise, could you please get hold of a log file on the new computer and
send it along?  It should have details about what is happening behind the
scenes that we can use to figure out what the problem is.  The
troubleshooting guide explains how to find the log file - this (sorry about
the long URL) is an online copy, although one should have been installed
with SpamBayes.
