"information service" error when trying to open .pst file...

ted

hi all -

i can't import a .pst file that created last night back
into my pc. when i try, i get the following error:

properties for this information service must be defined
prior to use

and then it tells me my file isn't a .pst file. what's
weird is i created another .pst and i can import that one
with no issues.

any ideas?

it figures that it's my fiance's .pst file that i can't
import. if you want to save my pending marriage you'll
help me out!

thanks!

Was the pst on a cd and if so, did you remove the read only flag?
