Do you still have access to the old computer hard drive? It sounds like your
..pst file is corrupt beyond scanpst.exe to fix. If you have access to it,
copy the .pst file to you new computer and try opening it.

Millie... I tried that also, same error message. I also
tried scanpst, which ran and repaired the pst file. Upon
opening the repaired pst, the Outlook desktop goes to
a "Recovered Personal Folders" view. but the pst doesn't
appear to open. I may be missing the obvious, but I don't
see it.
A note: I first copies the pst files from the CD into a
directory. I made sure the read-only flag was off.
Thanks.
Bob

1. Never import a .pst file - Use File->Open.
2. If your .pst files are on a CD, copy them to your hard drive and remove
the read only tick mark from its properties page.
