Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) Won't Recognize Outlook XP .pst Fi

[Retired Engineer]

Sirs:

I received an insightful answer to my previous post on receiving "cyclic
redundancy" errors when opening Outlook XP .pst files with Outlook-2007 on
Windows 7 Home Premium Edition. I've used chkdsk as suggested, and am no
longer receiving this error. Instead, I am receiving a new error report of,
"Windows does not recognize Tools.pst as a valid 32 bit application'.

Can anyone suggest a fix for this?

Many thanks.

How are you trying to open it?
To reconnect a pst-file in Outlook use;
File-> Open-> Outlook Data File...

Note that this is not an incompatibility between Outlook XP and Outlook
2007. The error you had received before indicated a file system or even hard
disk corruption on the location of your pst-file. Be aware that it could be
that this could have rendered the file useless or that you'll have to check
it for errors with scanpst.exe.

The best way when having such problem is to use scanpst.exe tool which you can find in your computer hard drive under this location

Outlook 2010

32-bit Windows; C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14
64-bit Windows; C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14
64-bit Outlook; C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14

for previous versions, visit here to get the list

But this small tool fails if the corruption is big and then you need to use Outlook pst repair software. Check out http://www.repairpst.info to see one great application.
