How to back up .pst files when Outlook won't open
I have a corrupted Windows Vista and much of it is not operational at the
moment. I'm trying to backup all my Outlook files (contacts, calendar) before I do a re-install on my Windows. I've tried to locate the .pst files with, so far, no success. Is there anyone that can talk me through this process? I don't think there's any way I can receive help via email since my system is acting strangely (as I said most of my programs besides Explorer won't even launch). When I go to control panel and try to click Administrator it won't let me so I'm stuck there. How else can I get to those .pst files and save them while I still have the chance? Please reply to the email in my profile if possible. Thanks. |
