Outlock, scanpst.exe doesn't recognize PST file "

[Tom]

Hi,
I have a problem with importing my outlock 2003 contacts and emails form pst
files. I had exported data from Outlock to pst files recently and I saved
them on other hard drive. I reinstaled windows and outlock, but when i wanted
to import data into OUTLOCK i have got the message that it isn't a pst file.
I have tried scanpst.exe and dozens of other programs which should repair
that type of files but unfortunatelly they display the same message that "Thi
is not a pst file".
Could you please advise me ,what i should do to solve that problem??

You never use export or import to transfer data. This is already an Outlook
data file. Just copy it. When you export it and import it you will
eventually corrupt it, which you have demonstrated for us once again.

Use the original PST file; open it with Outlook, then copy
(drag-and-drop) the data you want from the original PST file. This is
the *only* way to safely transfer data between PST files.
