I experienced a hard rive crash and had my Outlook .pst file backed up on a
remote drive. I scraped the old computer. My new computer has XP Pro as
did my old one. I loaded my copy of Office XP and then tried to copy my .pst
files. When I click on the back-up .SPT file, it shows as inacessable. I
did not knowingly have a passord on my Outlook. Any sugestions for restoring
this file?
