Outlook .PST file got a new date from 1980, now it can not be open

[Guest]

My NB crashed. Fortunately I had a backup of .pst folders. However, one of my
archive files can not be opened. The last modified date of the file has
changed to 1/2/1980. The error message when I try to "the file is not a
personal folder file". This file is about 1,650 MB large.

It has been possible to open this file after the crash when I accessed the
file from another computer on the network. When I switched back to my NB the
file was corrupt. The other 2 files continued to work fine (I have my default
as well as 2 achive folders).

I hope to hear that this is possible to solve..

Cheers Nick

When this happens, in general the PST is toast. There are some
commercially-available PST repair programs that may help.
