Things seem to be working properly thus far!

I have yet to figure out how to retrieve those lost files but when I do I will report back and I WILL take notes of how I did it in sequence. I...

I will try that.

Hmmm... I may have left that step out, I can't remember if I did that or not; I think I did now that you mention it. It may have started to open but then couldn't find the pst...

During the last attempt (then it opened without locking up) I did these things:

Copied the files from control panel, mail, something I forget at moment then I saw 4 files that I copied and moved...

FINALLY I am able to open my outlook! I am uncertain why or what I did to get it to work because I did a couple "new" things and then I tried and it worked!

Unfortunately none of my e mails are...

That is possible. I had thought I had that Facebook virus a few weeks ago but nothing was found using malware detection software.

I've scanned my computer many times since and a few times in the...

I use comcast.net. I have checked my e mail a couple times via their website but there are no previous e mails there or the contact list or calendar. I am sure I set it up wrong initially about 5...

Hello,

Once I attempt to open the outlook it freezes up at the 5 seconds left message. At this point I cannot do anything (ctrl alt del) my only option is to press the power button until the...

I am losing my mind over this...

Attached is a screen shot of the results from *.pst search results.

Unfortunately before when I searched I only typed in pst and omitted the star and dot.

Three files were found, none are named...

I have done that and no pst files are found.

pst is a file type, yes?

Hello,

I did a search of pst on my hard drive and did not find any files of that type. Please see attached and the second screen shot.

Maybe this is my problem?

Should I create a pst file? ...

I've attached a screen shot of the files that are in my Outlook folder.

The top file named "oldone" is a dat file that I renamed. It was originally "outcmd.dat" I believe.


Thought you may...

Hello and thank you all,

I apologize I have not been home to try the above solutions. I will try them now (very soon) and report back the results!

Let's hope this works!

Thanks again!

Not sure what it is...

I do have an iPhone that ever since I've started using it I have been having trouble with my Outlook calendar. I have also been having to ctrl alt del and then shut Outlook...

I am not finding any success with the above...
