Outlook Services not available in IMO configuration?

[Penasquitos Joe]

I reinstalled Outlook 2000 after rebuilding one of my computers but now
can't add the Personal Folders service so that I can import my .pst. For
that matter, when I go to the Tools menu, I don't even see Services. I know
it's there when Outlook is configured for CW. Are Services not available in
IMO configuration and if so how do you restore a .pst? Or do I have a bad
install?

You can can use the File | Open | Personal Folders File command to open additional .pst files.

I still get the same message.
How do I add the service and why don't I see that menu in the IMO
configuration?

IMO does not use services. What is the precise wording of the message you get when you try to open a .pst file with the File | Open command in Outlook?

I believe it was along the lines of The service has not been configured for
use.
But here's an update. The .pst was saved to a CD then copied to the hard
drive after the rebuild. I tried to change the properties in Windows as the
file was marked Read only (as a result of coming off of a CD). This didn't
work so I changed the properties in DOS. Once I rebooted, I was able to use
both the File->Open and the Import methods of restoring the mail. I hope
this helps others who experience the same problem.
BTW, thank you for reading my question and responding to it as stated.
Another MVP didn't read another request that I posted on the same problem
and as a result gave me 'help' akin to what can be had calling a support
line, i.e., read from the script and ignore the question or the steps
followed before calling for help.
