I doubt that.
That error message indicates your PST file was created in Outlook 2003 and
you are trying to open it in an earlier version.

I recently backep-up the hard drive on my laptop in anticipation of
reformatting the unit. After reformatting (using all the same software
discs
that came with the laptop) I tried to open the .pst backup file for
Outlook
(containing all my contacts, calendar, and emails for the last three
years)
and got the following error message: "The file is not compatible with
this
version of the Personal Folders Information Service." How can that be when
I
am using the exact same version (same disc, remember?) of Outlook (Windows
XP, Outlook 2002) to try and open the file as was used to create it?
