No I don't. I thought backing my data up using the Import/Export was
sufficient. I haven't had problems in the past.
Stupid HP reformatted my harddrive to replace the motherboard. I backed up
everything and have restored everything except Outlook.

Exporting and importing are never the correct way to transfer Outlook
data. They are a good way to corrupt or lose data, which I suspect you
have done. The only way to transfer Outlook data is simply to make a copy
of your Outlook data file. Do you have a valid backup or copy of your
Outlook data file?

I had to have my laptop repaired. It was suggested that I back up
everything before sending it in. So I did. I am now trying to reinstall
all the programs and data that was erased during the repair.
I backed up my Outlook (before repair) using the Import/Export in Outlook
and saved it on DVD. I have been trying to restore the data but it wont
let me. If I try to Import from the DVD I get the message: "File access
Denied: You don't have the permission required to access the file
D:\Outlook.pst." Okay. Than I tried moving the file off of the DVD into
my Documents folder on my HD and tried again. Now I get the message: "The
File c:\Users\username\Documents\Outlook.pst is not compatible with this
version of the Personal Folders information service. Contact your
administrator". How can I restore may data? Nothing seems to be working.
