Unable to open .pst file

S

Can some one tell me how to open the outlook archive file?

When I try to open the outlook inbox archive file saved as outlook.pst, a
message box of outlook is opening with an attachment outlook.pst. When I try
to open this, i am once again getting the same message box with the same
attachment.

However if I try to open the archive file outlook.pst with MS Word, some
matter is seen in an unreadable format (encrypted?).

I do have a pass word to open outlook. But when I try to open the archive,
it is not asking for the pass word.

Please let me know how to open the archive file.

Thank u.

That is why you should always post your version of Outlook; Choose Personal
Folder.
