Do not load the file in the default location if you are attempting to override an existing .pst file. Copy your .pst file to a place like My Documents and then try opening it in Outlook using File->Open->Outlook Data File. Make this one your default and copy items from the new to the preferred .pst file and close the new .pst file.

| Using the instructions from the Microsoft Outlook 03 help & solutions
| website. I have thusfar:
|
| 1. Made a copy of my old .pst prior to installing vista on my system
| (in a backup disk drive).
| 2. upgraded my old Office 2000 to Office 03
| 3. Copied the file back to the hidden directory listed on the
| instructions
| 4. Made sure that I have permission to edit the files (that was a
| issue earlier on that I forgot to mention)
| 5. Finally leading me to this last problem
| 6. I also attempted to use the tool for fixing .pst files, but it
| came back with an error and could not do anything with either the
| backup or archive .pst files.
| 7. I've also attempted to create a ne .pst, but for whatever reasons
| it won't work.
| 8. I'm currently using windows mail to pull down my files from the
| internet as a backup until this problem can be solved (it loaded a
| new .pst without any problems).
