My computer was acting 'weird' -- unstable. And I was working to "fix
it -- cleaning disk, getting rid of extra software, etc. I also hav
an external hard drive.
I was in Outlook and all of a sudden my Outlook got stuck and would no
"unstick". I closed the computer, reopened and my pst files showed tha
they were "gone".
So I went online and did a lot of research. I couldn't find the files
even though I'd unhidden everything UNTIL I did a search for them an
they showed up as being there.
But I couldn't get them to work with Outlook.
So I called HP, where I have a service contract. We cleaned out th
computer. Uninstalled MS office then reinstalled It. Unistalled ie 9.0
then reinstalled it. Removed Google Chrome but added Advant browser a
i.e 9.0 doesn't allow me to delete or add newsletters from my newslette
program.
The unstableness of my computer seems to have gone away from the work w
did.
But still the PST problem existed. I would open Outlook, it wanted 'x
files, from my external hard drive, and couldn't find them.
Finally after searching for an answer I was able to create a ne
database in Outlook so that at least I can open it, use it and disabl
the files that it's trying to get that "aren't working'. Those file
are on my external hard drive.
I was able to unengage all files except one that it insisted it wa
using. That database, I am unable to to get into the emails BUT th
system allowed me to send/receive mail using the files from it and I ca
send emails pretty easily since the old email addresses show up in th
To/From area (they do not show up in the contact file) Also the syte
opens the reminders. Just NO Contact List and no access to emails.
Someone, at the MS Forum told me to do a check disk. I did. My har
drive is AOK. My external hard drive, it found some files and save
them to a folder called FOUND.
Still no easy access to the PST files.. in fact, now they're gone. The
seem to be in the FOUND folder as CHD files.
I see their size and they are my PST files, 2gb and 3gb each -- but
can't seem to open them.
Thoughts? Advise?
The kicker. When I brought all those old files to my new computer an
external hard drive. I thought that I was accessing the files from m
external hard drive (and it was) BUT I thought it was backing up th
files on my new computer.
It didn't do what I thought it was doing.
So I'd really like to try to save those CHD files and turn them bac
into PST files.
Thanks for reading this book of what's been going on.
