Outlook Folders Missing After Upgrade to Windows XP
I recently upgraded Windows from Windows 98 to Windows
XP. After the upgrade, I get an error message "Unable to Display the Folder. Folder does not exist." when selecting the following folders in Outlook 2000: Inbox, Calender, Contacts, Tasks, and Notes. I removed and reinstalled Outlook 2000, and performed all the updates from the Microsoft site--but still get the message that the folders do not exist. I have also re-sync'ed my info from my PDA to my computer, and the files still do not exist. Can anyone suggest a solution? Is Outlook 2000 compatible with Windows XP? |

That just means that the OS upgrade moved your Outlook data file to a new
location and now Outlook can't find it. Search for *.pst. Open each in Outlook until you find the correct file, then configure Outlook to use it. Make sure you enable the search to include hidden files. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Jim D." wrote in message ... I recently upgraded Windows from Windows 98 to Windows XP.

If you know where your PST is, you can add it to the mail profile through the Mail Applet in the Control Panel -- click Data Files, then ADD it. Once you do that you can go to the Email Accounts dialog and set your old PST as the default delivery location. -- Athena |

There is no mail applet in XP's control Panel.
