Accessing MIcrosoft Outlook

[Gordon McDougall]

Yesterday, when I tried to access Outlook in my home pC, I received

the following message:



Cannot open MIcrosoft Office Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook

window. The set of folders cannot be opened. The file C:|Users

\jillandgordon\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.pst is not a

personal folders file.



Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can fix this?



Masny thanks,



Gordon in TX

Can you open Outlook using the Safe switch



Start>Run



Outlook.exe /safe (note space between exe /)



or

Start > Run > outlook.exe /resetnavpane



(notice the space between outlook.exe and /resetnavpane)
