Outlook 2007 Back-up/Restore Verification
I have Vista Home 32 w/ Outlook 2007. I want to back up Outlook on an
external HD to reinstall after a reformat and fresh installation of Windows 7. I have followed the instructions provided here but I need to be absolutely sure I've done it right because I have critical data in Outlook than I cannot lose. I've located Outlook from this process and copied it to the backup drive: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outloo k When I open any of the files in this folder, I get this message, "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Set Associations control panel." Please clarify what this indicates and then exactly how I restore back on the reformatted HD. Thanks!!! |

The error message means that you can't double click on a PST file and expect
it to open in Outlook. To open, you would start Outlook and then select File Open Outlook data file. "Saidas" wrote in message ... I have Vista Home 32 w/ Outlook 2007.
