You uninstalled the trial?
What type of connection / account do you have?

If you used origonally OL2002 you should'nt have lost your data files,
however its allways possible you overwrote them.
When you trialed the Office2007 & OL if you created a new data file this
file is incompatible with OL2002 and cannot be read.

Either search to include hidden, for *.pst, note the path, then in OL,
File>Open>Personal Folders........browse to the location. If your origonal
pre OL2007 data file is there it can be opened.

Further reading of the link posted will indicate the default location for
the data file.

If you're using an IMAP account, all your mail is on the server and adding
an IMAP account to OL 2002 will allow you to see it all. However, your
conatcts, tasks, calendar, etc., are on OL 2007 format and are not
compatible with OL 2007. You'll need to use a copy of OL 2007 to create an
OL 2002-compatible PST, which you'll be able to use them. See of this

applies equally to OL 2007 as to OL 2003.
