try moving the file to the local hard drive - if it still errors, the file
may be corrupt.

"when I try to get"
And just exactly how are you "getting" the archive files?

You should state which version of Office's Outlook you have and what exactly
you are trying to do. You cannot open outlook files of any kind without
opening Outlook and choosing File, Open Outlook Data File. Move any files on
external media to your hard drive first before you try to open from within
Outlook.

I ahve outlook 2007, and the error appears every time I try to bring an
archive that contains all my e-mails, whether it is located on the CPU hard
drive or the external hard drive, it does it on both occasions. I do
file-open-outlook data file-then the archive.pst that I have on either C or G
dirves

Try running Outlook in its safe mode ("outlook.exe /safe") which will
NOT load any add-ons that you installed into Outlook.

I got the same error message as you. Have you found the way to open the
archived files?
