Office XP Unable to open lost all files!!!! Outlook V 10.0.6626.0

[Neil Sheppard]

I have the above version of Outlook which I started using about 6 months
ago. I had a problem on my system and had to reinstall Windows XP Pro
I tried saving my Outlook files on three seperate drives to be sure, as they
had all my business files on them. I could not restore the old files nor get
Outlook to open again. I keep getting an error message saying: " unable to
open default mail folder." I need some assistance in the worst way!.
I would really appreciate any help out there.
Thanks

How did you save the files?
The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the
mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:

Greetings,


You can try restoring lost files using active@ undelete tool. It works
really great and never failed me ever before. Really awesome tool, you
should try it out. Really.
