Can't open .pst files

R

Richard M.

I saved a lot of personal emails before I left my
previous employer (large corp. thus did have a dedicated
IT department). I had archived my emails many times in
the past, but always used my work computer to open them,
and never had a problem (.PST files). Now however, when
I try to open my emails from home, I get the following
error messages:

When I try to copy or cut the file to my hard drive it
says:

"Error copying file or folder" "Cannot copy emails: the
parameter is incorrect"


When I try to open in Outlook:
"File Access Denied, you do not have the permission
required to access..."


I can't even uncheck the "read only" box on the files!
Please help me understand what could be causing my files
to not want to open.

Thank you so much!

Richard

Log on as administrator, remove the read only attribute and take ownership
of the file. Then assign yourself full control
