outlook 2003 darm pst file now found

[war59312]

Hey,

Just installed outlook 2003 and it says its pst file is missing from:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\local settings\application data\microsoft\outlook

and nothing is even in that folder but extend.dat

So i tried a repar of office 2003 and same. So then I tried a total uninstall of office and then reinstall and same thing.

Any ideas ?

Thansk,

Will

Will,

Was it a first time install or a reinstall of outlook?
And if it was an first time install have you created a profile yet? (setup your account profile)

Bacause I don't know if you'll have a PST file until you have set it up.

Hey,

OMG u just reminded me.

I just figured it out thanks to u. The mail icon in control panel and deleted profile and re-ran outlook and it created a new one. Wonder how that happened in the first place though. But finally workin again.

Well thanks,

Will

You should also always back up your Outlook.pst file, so you can re-import your info in case of a crash or format.
There is a program that integrates into Outlook and allows you to get a backup made automatically every day, week, month, or whatever..It will also save it to an external drive of file folder, so your backup is always backed up somewhere else...

here's the proggie in case you dont have it...
