link. under the heading Restore pst-files it states "Now open Outlook and
connect to the file by choosing File-> Open-> Outlook Data File." i did that
and it opened a second Personal Folders.

You can have multiple personal folders open.
Ensure whichever personal folder you wish to keep is set as the default
store, then close the other personal folder.

I never said you corrupted the files. I said you corrupted the profile
because I assumed you were unable to close the second set of folders. If you
can close them, then by all means just do so and be done with it.
You need to post clearly when you post in newsgroups. You have yet to do so.
We still have no idea what you did and what your actual problem is.

Currently i have two Personal Folders open. the origianl default Personal
Folder and the Personal Folder i opened which has the data from my old
computer.

when i click on the Calendar tab there are two Calendars, one titled
Calendar (which has no data) and one titled Calendar in Personal Folders
(which has all my calendar info from my old computer)

same scenerio with Contacts.

i would rather have 1 Personal Folder with all my soon to be new entries
combined with all my old data.

should i make the new Personal Folder file the default folder and close the
orignal Personal Folder or should i drag over my old data from the second
Personal Folder to the orignal Personal Folder and then close it out the
second Personal Folder?

since i don't have too much Calendar and Contact information can i simply
