Hi,

I found the following pst files; archive.pst and
outlook.pst located in C:\documents and settings\(my user
name)smacktime\applications. Are these the old files you
are refering to? I can't open them to see if they contain
my e-mail messages and contacts. If these are the files
you are referring to please explain again what I need to
do. Thanks.

Jan
