Ah, Russ, the old pst file will not open thanks to that great nasty software
scanpst.exe that "repaired" it, I believe. And, what's really weird, when I
opened Outlook 2007 today w/ my "new" profile, I got that error that many
have talked about here before i.e., saying there are errors etc., run that
nasty tool.

I Xed out of it and was able to download mail but I really need to be able
to get my old data. Does anyone have clear and concise (read blonde here)
instructions on how to get that old data into my Outlook?

Creating a new profile does nothing to your data. It is perfectly intact.
Just open and use the data file you were using before.

I ran into the problem that Outlook 2007 would not open (Vista). I ran
scanpst and it repaired the file but then Outlook would not open at all.
I
created a new profile but of couse, all my saved email, addresses, etc.
are
gone.

How do I copy the back up pst to my new email account? Please help, I'm
pretty distraught that this happened at all on a new computer and need
pretty
detailed help.

Thanks for any help.
