I now have Windows Vista and am trying to move or copy my .pst files that I
backed up on DVD to Outlook on my new computer but get an error message
saying I need permission to access files which is ridiculous because I am the
administrator, sole user, etc. Thanks in advance for your help.
 
Please describe what you are doing, and the exact error message you get.
Make sure that the read-only attribute is not set on the PST file(s).
 
Thank you, Pat, for taking the time to respond. I now forget exactly what
the error message said but it did say that access is denied because
permission by administrator is needed. This is the gist of it. So what I
did was to go into properties of the folder itself and changed ownership of
the folder to me from Karen the user to Karen the administrator, both of whom
is me. Ridiculous but it worked. Karen
