How did you "reload" outlook? If by any other means that installing it from
the disk and created a new outlook profile, the method you used has messed
it up.

Recently had to replace motherboard, so due to not wanting to pay HP "fee"
to
re tattoo BIOS, reloaded OS (Windows XP). Saved previous content of hard
drive on external hard drive.
Reloaded Office 2003, now cannot get Outlook to recognise old .pst files
from previous content of hard drive. When I attempt to open a .pst file,
get
error notice "Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. The command line is
not
valid. Verify the switch you are using"
Grateful for any help.
