Outlook 2000 install - recovery of contacts folder
I'm recovering after a computer crash and have a couple of problems
concerning Outlook. First, I need to know which files I need to recover that contain my personal info like contacts and email mailbox contents. I can’t get a copy of Outlook installed at present (next problem described below), but I can see my program files and folders from my crashed copy of XP and HDD. I have the drive hooked up to a different computer. When the old computer died I bought a Dell E-510. I installed Office 2000 but can’t configure Office 2000. The program installs but will not send or receive email. I have a Verizon DSL account and their technical support took control of my computer remotely (with my permission) and verified that my settings are correct. They concluded that I have a Microsoft issue and to contact MSFT tech support. I think from some internet browsing that my problems may be related to Symantic SystemWorks that I also have installed on my computer prior to the Office installation. I will uninstall that and see if it helps my Office installation. Another option, but I will need help on this one, would be to copy all necessary files from my revived HDD. SP is dead on it, but most of my data files survived. I’m assuming that I can’t just copy my Office folders from my Programs directory. Is there some other way to export my previously running Outlook application from my old HDD en toto? I have the Office install CD but have used it twice to uninstall/repair/reinstall Office and have reconfigured Outlook several times and there is some reason that it isn’t working. As mentioned, I’ll first remove SystemWorks and try to reinstall Outlook on my new machine. If that works, then I’ll just need to recover my personal stuff from my old Outlook files. If it doesn’t work, then I’d like to know how to get my old files, program and all, copied to my new HDD. Thanks |

Outlook 2000 install - recovery of contacts folder
The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the
mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Outlook 2000 install - recovery of contacts folder
The http://www.howto-outlook.com/Howto/backupandrestore.htm location gave me
the roadmap to recovering my .pst file and getting my address book back. Thanks! However, I still can't get Outlook to work on my new computer. I installed Office on the revived old computer, so I'll be ready to repopulate my contacts when I get my NEW computer to work with Office. I completely uninstalled NSW using the utilities from the Symantec website. I then uninstalled/reinstalled Office, and it's still doing the same things (won't receive or send mail, hangs while checking for mail). The other strange thing is that my previous Outlook installation and the reinstalled Outlook on the old computer (different drive than the one that crashed - and new Wiondows install) has the familiar Tools/Accounts menu option. There is no "Accounts" option on any of the installs/reinstalls on the new computer. Instead there is a Tools/Services option which is where I configure my POP3 settings. The other major difference is that my new computer is running Windows Media Center. The old one is Windows Professional. So I've uninstalled NSW. Where do I go from here to get Outlook working?

You have installed a completely different version of Outlook and failed to

Outlook 2000 install - recovery of contacts folder
ALMOST THERE !!!
Using advice and hints from this thread I have finally got Outlook receiving and sending mail. I had no idea that there was more than one configuration that could be installed, and the CD apparently installed the wrong one. Ths last issue seems simple but is a bugger. I have an outgoing email stuck in my outbox and it won't go away. It was placed there using the "send" command in a previous configuration as I was troubleshooting the previous problems. If I click on it and try to delete it, I get a message returned "The MAPI spooler has already begun transmitting This message." I have tried every way known to delete the message and nothing works. I tried disconnecting from the Internet and still get the message. I tried deleting the mapi32.dll files and Outlook continues to show the file and try to send it. Finally, I did a Google search and found that thousands of users have had the same problem. I haven't found a fix yet. My trusted support here Mr. Valentine even posted a reply to a user so Ifigured I was home free. It involved setting up a mail client and running a file C:\Progrem Files\Office\Outlook.exe......but I never could figure out how to get the command line to work. I don't know whether my machine is configured differently or whether I just don't know enough about running command lines (I guess it's from the "run" option in Windows??, but I get a returned message "can't find the program C:\Program. I tried C:\Program_files thinking it needed a DOS-like syntax and still didn't work. Here's the deal. I have essentially nothing that I want to save in my Outlook at this time. Is there some way that I can just start over, knowing what I learned, to get rid of the message in my in-box? Will deleting my ..pst file get rid of it? I can do that and then reinstall Office if necessary to get it back. Sounds like lots of work, but I haven't gotten a quick fix yet.

Outlook 2000 install - recovery of contacts folder
It's easy to clear your Outbox.
Have you decided to stay with Corp/Workgroup mode? If so, try this: - File menu New PST file - Give the new PST a temporary name - Click OK to the new dialog - right-click on the root of the new set of folders - choose Properties - Select "Deliver POP Mail ...." - Click OK Quit & Restart Outlook Once Outlook restarts, expand your previous set of folders and delete the bad message from the Outbox. - Right click on the root of your original set of folders - Choose Properties - Select "Deliver POP Mail ..." - Click OK Quit & Restart Outlook Hopefully all will be well after this... -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Lee Beck" wrote in message ...

Outlook 2000 install - recovery of contacts folder
Russ,
You've been a real champion throughout this ordeal. I appreciate you hanging in there. All my problems are now solved (all my current computer problems. anyway). I actually stumbled onto a solution for emptying my outbox. I had another relatively minor issue in that when I set up my new computer I answered a bunch of questions during the setup (I don't recail if they were posed by MSFT or dell). One involved "aho will be using this computer" and I put my wife's name in addition to mine. I thikn that's what triggered the "choose user" screen at logon. A quick boot is more important to me than selecting suer preferences so I wanted to get rid of this encumberance. I read at http://www.worldstart.com/tips/tips-pr.php/1835 that there is a way to eliminate the logon. After following the instructions to remove the individual profiles, I found that all my profile changes (desktop backgrround, etc) had reset to default (Dell logo, etc). More importantly, I was asked to complete several pop-up screens that addressed my internet mail preferences (POP3 settings). I was hoping that this was starting me anew in Outlook, and my hopes were fulfilled. When I started Outlook the program downloaded current email and the outbox was empty. This probably isn't a great fix for someone with a lot of data entered into Outlook since it apparently wipes the settings clean. However, in my specific case I hadn't loaded my .pst file to get my contact list etc into outlook yet, so it effectively solved my problem without introducing any new ones.
