I have a flash drive with Outlook Express files. I cannot figure out how to get the .pst files from the flash drive into OE (or Outlook) so that I can read them, print them, etc.

I'm using Windows XP, and Internet Explorer. I tried to import the .pst files, but kept getting errors, telling me that there were no OE files there or that they were in use by another program or some such thing. I am able to access my Word files from the same flash drive. The transfer of files to a flash drive was necessitated by my having dropped my laptop and I needed to get to my files on that computer (but I couldn't read anything on the screen...). Thanks and I'll hope that you can help me get those .pst files back into my OE (or Outlook) on this laptop. Thanks again!

Also -- I have Money 2002 files on that drive as well (I'm assuming, since I was told that all my data files were loaded on there). I do have back-ups, but they're not as current as the information that's on the flash drive. Could you tell me how I can get them into my Money files? Thanks....

I don't understand if there's something further I'm to do in order to get an answer to my questions. Thanks for your help.

When I go to the My Computer and select the E: drive and click on it, it shows a folder that contains my .pst files, but when I try to open it, it simply comes back and asks me if I want to open it again. How do I get it open and copy it or whatever I need to do to get my files back?

 

I haven't tried the Money fix yet. Thanks again for your help.

No. And I'm using Outlook Express - just because that's what I've always used - but tried it from Outlook as well and it brings up the "Would you like to Open or Save this file?" box and when I click "Open", it simply brings the box back, asking the same question again.

Ok let me ask when you saved these files to the flash drive did you export them out of Outlook Express through the export command?
