lost messages when box crashed during compaction, any ideas for recovery?

[Smokey & Bear]

Hello,

My system crashed while it was compacting messages in Outlook Express 6.
System is XP SP2. Purchased and tried running DBXtract from the OEHelp.com
website with no success. Tried using XP system restore. Random files
contained within folders appear to be lost. Any suggestions?

TIA

Try posting this in an Outlook Express newsgroup - this is not one of them.
Outlook is a part of Microsoft Office and is what this group supports.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and has its own newsgroups.
