Your Outlook 2003 data should be located somewhere in the \Documents and
Settings\
folder on drive C (or the drive that Windows is loaded on).

This data should remain even if you uninstall Office/Outlook 2003.

The exact location will be different depending on what your log on name is
for Windows. (i.e. if you log on as "Joni" when you start Windows, then you
would find the \Joni\ folder within the \Documents and Settings\ folder).

There is one major problem - if the pst file was created in the new (2003)
format, the only way to use it in a previous version of Outlook is to open
it in Outlook 2003 and then "save as" a previous version of the pst. As the
OP says he can't run Outlook, he's got a potential problem.

Thank you, Timothy!

I couldn't remember the name of the file or extension
(PST)... found it and backed it up, just in case.

Wish me luck!
