I recently moved to a computer with VISTA SP1 and installed Office 2007.
when i tried to recover my backup.pst file I get the message that I do not
have permision to open the file. I made the bacup.pst on my old computer
runing Office 2007 so I need help with this problem.

Is it on a CD by any chance? If so you need to copy it back to the hard
drive and make sure it's not flagged Read-Only. (right-click the file in
Windows Explorer and go to Properties)

And in Vista copy it to Documents folder, not default location

If your PST is on your hard drive, you'll have to take ownership of it.
