Can not open MS outlook containing contacts obtained from old, com

[confused Teddy Bear]

My old computer, a HP Pavilion crashed and the windows operating system would
not open, since a USB port was deleted and when I turned on the computer a
wizard found the new hardware but it was unable to retrieve the drive. I
had my data extracted by a professional service. All the other data opened
except upon attempting to open the contacts in the MS Outlook file, the new
computer, a HP Media center, states the personal .pst file can not be opened.
Help.

Hi Confused,

The name of this newsgroup sometimes adds to the confusion: it's for
people using Microsoft Access database software with external data, and
not for general problems accessing data with Microsoft software.

You may find the answer to your question in the Microsoft knowledgebase
at http://support.microsoft.com or at

Otherwise, post your message in an Outlook newsgroup.
