After furious head scratching, Bob asked:

| Not sure if anyone can assist but here goes
| I had a bit of a problem with a hard drive and thankfully most recent
| backup was within the previous 3 weeks (personal computer)
| I had backed up the saved email on outlook as the pst file but when I
| go to import I get a message "properties for this information
| service must be defined prior to use". and then when I click on OK
| the message "The file C:\windows\local settings\application
| data\microsoft \outlook\backup.pst is not a personal folders file".
| Of course, nothing happens.
| Can anyone give me a bit of guidance. Unfortunately, there are a few
| emails that I would dearly like to recover and I am stumped.
|
| Many thanks in advance.
