Default Restoring rules from a .PST file....

Hi all,

I have had a nasty issue with a damaged outlook profile. I did have the error:
"the operation failed due to a registry or installation problem", what did
lead me to articles telling me to create a new profile, so I did, it however
does not solve the problem.......

I have now 2 profiles, one working and one where nothing else works, except
outlook starts, nothing else can be done.

In the damaged profile I had an large address book, (No copy or backup) and
over 25 rules managing incoming mail, forwarding rules and preventing rules.
I can't make a backup and import them.

Is there any way I can get these rules back from the .PST files?
I do have several of these and some of them seem not to be updated after
creating the new profile.

I was in the middle of rebuilding the machine when this happened, hence the
reason I do not have a proper backup
