Restoring Outlook 2002 from 2007 beta

[Guest]

I participated in the Office 2007 beta program but have uninstalled that
release now and have re-installed Office XP Pro 2002. However, Outlook does
not start properly saying it cannot display the selected folder or item. How
do I overcome this please?

I think the pst file in Outlook 2007 is incompatible with Outlook 2002. I
have re-installed 2007 but cannot see how I create a 2002 version of the pst
file so that I can return to Office 2002. The beta program will end soon and
I do not want to be forced into the upgrade even though I expect to do so
soon.

Create a .pst file in the 97-2002 format and copy your data from your current .pst file to the one you just created.

Hi:
I have the same problem as Thames:
Although your answer may be correct. Is there a Step-by-spep way to do what
you suggest? I do not know how to create a .pst file in the 97-2002 format.
Also, once I know how to do this, will all of my data be intact in one .pst
file to move to any computer?
