Error with To do list after transfering .pst file

G

Guest

I recently did a clean install of vista and after redirecting outlook to the
correct .pst file I had backed up, I receive an error in my to do list.

"The operation failed. An onject could not be found." in the bottom half of
the to-do bar, and "Cannot display the folder" in the To-Do list in the tasks
section.

How do I fix this error, I don't mind if I have to remove my current to do
list, but I would like to be able to flag new emails.

Thanks, Brandon

How would I go about trying a new mail profile? Only place I found to change
mail profiles was through the control panel and mail, and this had no effect
on outlook.

I assume my problem is outlook is looking for an email I flagged before
reformating, and it can no longer find it resulting in this error. So if
there was a way to delete the flags on emails without access to the to-do
list that would probably fix the problem.

Ok I figured out how to make a new mail profile, apparently outlook was still
running in the background after I exited so the settings didn't take place
(any way to make it really exit without killing it in task mngr?)

Thanks, making the new profile and redirecting it to my .pst worked.
Apparently my profile was corrupted as I deleted the pst it originally made
when I copied in my pst file.
