so outlook won't open it? I assume trying to import gets you a similar error
and a new version of outlook won't make a difference.
did you try scanpst alternating it with scandisk.

Yes, it see as PST file. I use Outlook 2002. When I chouse the pst it
says:

"The file ..... is not a personal folder file. "

Someone i know told me to try newer version and try to import, but i do
not think it will resolve my problem.

outlook data
file, do you see any folders in the pst (use the folder list view -
ctrl+6
in outlook 2003/2007)
