I have attempted to transfer Outlook files from an older PC running Windows
2000 to a new one running Windows XP Professional. I followed the instructions provided by the MS web pages dealing with this. However, when I tried to copy the .pst files into the relevant folder of Outlook 2003 they were not recognized. The .pst files had an unusual image as an icon and did not have an extension. When I tried to open them, the Browser ws unable to find a suitable program. Any suggestions on how to cure this would be welcome. Thank you |

Generally you dont copy the pst files to the default folder, as its likely
you will overwrite existing pst files. Copy them to eg Documents folder - its not neccessary for them to be located in the default outlook folder I assume you copied these from your old installation with outlook closed, and didnt use export, if either of these are true you will either have corrupted the file, or in the case of export lost data & settings Within your new Outlook installation, FileOpenData File......browse to the location and open the data file (You cannot open an outlook data file from explorer) "Walter Seaton" wrote in message ...
