Help!!! Cannot import pst files from a prior install of
Outlook98

My system crashed and I reinstalled MS Outlook98 but it
will not import my pst files which have all my calendar
and appointment information.

Messages such as .pst is not a personal folders file (when
it really is).

Properties for this information service must be properly
defined prior to use.

I'm lost and becoming desperate.

Please email me directly by sending
mailto:[email protected].

I would be eternally grateful to anyone who can solve this
problem and help me get my business back running.

Thanks in advance,

Ron

1) Did you move it to a CD? If so, then you need to
Save it to your computer somewhere and then
Right click on the saved file to bring up the properties.
and remove the "Read Only" property attribute.

PST files on a CD are READ ONLY.

2) Use the FILE menu on Outlook to OPEN the Data File.
Don't try to import, just browse to it and open it.
