Huh, am I supposed to have an Outlook.pst ??? It is not coming up when
I search for it. Now I am really fretting- does that mean it means "too
late. it is past the give point of trying to restore it?" I am trying
not to look stupid here, but reading it myself, it sounds as if I am.
Or, does that mean, (hopefully) I can try going *WAY* back on system
restore (Jan 27 is my earliest restore point)? I am worried about going
back that far, not sure what I will lose if I do.
Thanks.
