Problem with restore a PST file after backup Vista

I always back up my Outlook PST files as all my other documents, by using the standard Windows Vista backup feature.
When you try to retrieve my documents however (on my new PC after that my old PC was stolen) Restore tool gives an error message saying that the PST file is corrupted or non-existent (while he appears in the backup folder).
In the end, it seems that the file is restored, and then open the PST file in outlook gives an error message saying that "the file C:\...\.*.pst is not a personal folders file.
Someone has any advice how to recover my PST file?

  • Problems with the 64-bit on Pavilion a6620f Vista Factory restore

    I had a hard drive failure and restoration on a new hard drive. The original HD is a 500 GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 model ST 3500620AS. The new HD is a 500 GB Seagate Barracuda 7200 model ST 3500641AS - RK. I bought a set of restore for this HP computer disks.

    First problem was that disk 1 does not start from the internal CD/DVD drive. My Seagate drive boots fine on the same drive! I used an external USB CD/DVD drive and restore disks worked well on that. I went through the process of factory restore and in the end, I get an error message "installing Windows could not configure Windows to run on this computer hardware." I tried to change the BIOS setting from ACHI and IDE to SATA RAID with no luck. I tried to unplug the USB CD drive before the first reboot. That no longer works.  I unplugged the internal CD drive and tried different combinations with no luck. Need help I have run out of things to try! Does anyone have any ideas/thoughts?

    Hello:

    I don't know how you can get your recovery discs to work.

    Looks like you have tried everything.

    I had problems with mine too and got the same error on a HP Elite 8200 desktop computer business

    It was the first time I've ever had a problem with recovery disks.  It's very frustrating.

    I have a workaround if all goes well, you can use to get Vista on your PC...

    If you can read your 25-character product key MS, you can make your own Windows Vista installation disc. You just download the 3 files you need on the link below and read all the instructions to create a Setup bootable DVD disk using imageburn.

    It was not so hard to do. I burned both the disk of 64-bit and 32-bit disk in case I ever need them.

    I tested both of them (just before going forward with the actual facility) and they seem to work perfectly.

    Apparently, when you enter the product key, he knows which version of Vista you have.

    http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/w/microsoft_os/3317.2-3-Microsoft-Windows-VI...

    After you have successfully installed vista, you can download the drivers you need your PC support and driver page.

  • Cannot restore files after reinstalling Vista

    My problem is that doubles 1. Everything I know about building and nothing about computers and 2. When I had trouble with my Word program, IE. It took 10 to 15 minutes to load, someone suggested that I reinstalled it to try to solve the problem. There can be no. Then, he suggested I have reinstall full vista I did. He asked if I wanted to back up my files, to which I answered Yes. It took several hours to install fuly and when I got home he had finished and almost nothing on the screen except a few editing base.  He had of course saved and everything saved on the hard drive somewhere, I had a friend TI to throw a glance and he was not at all familiar with it. But he had found and restored in a file named "bob."  But the big problem is that I can not open an any of them as file extensions are unknown. I really need to bring them especially my photos. My backup of records were destroyed in a fire of the site office and all the photos of my partner who died since in a car accident, were there. So close they are tempting, but cannot display. I tried to Microsoft to take over my computer remotely and sort it out for me, but may not return to the right place in the vast world of Microsoft.
    Anyone can help, but it must be in plain English and not the computer language.
    My computer is a Dell Dimension 9200 and vista is small business. ;

    Hello jonowlbarn,

    Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

    Before you reinstalled Windows Vista didn't have you backed up your files? If so you back up your files on the same hard drive that Vista has been installed on?  If Yes, then performed reverse would be erased when you remove Vista.  I added some information below for that matter.  Please let us know status.  Thank you!

    To make sure that you do not lose the files you create, edit and store on your computer, you must save the regularly. You can back up your files any time or manually configure automatic backups.

    Note The ability to set up automatic backups is not included in Windows Vista Starter and Windows Vista Home Basic Edition.

       
     

    1.

    Open the backup center and restore by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then click backup and Restore Center.

    2.

    Click back up files, and follow the steps in the wizard. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    No backup files on the same hard disk that Windows is installed. For example, to make the back not files on a recovery partition. Always store media used for backups (external hard disks, DVDs, or CDs) in a safe place in order to prevent unauthorized access to your files; a separate fireproof place of your computer is recommended. You can also consider encrypting the data on your backup.

    In addition, please see the links below:

  • Problems with HTML content in programs after the installation of KB2847204

    After this update for IE8 all HTML/HTM-app content will open in my default browser, rather than display it in the application.

    So my browser would point to for example: file:///C:/Users/***/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temporary%20Internet%20Files/Content.IE5/***.
    I tried a system restore too before some updates, and it helped.
    Then of course Windows automatically installed all these updates again and tada... the bug was back.
    Then I uninstalled the KB2847204 update and all was good.
    I don't have any Internet Explorer installed, this is probably part of the problem.
    For the record, my problem was solved by uninstalling KB2847204.
    Evil Google HTML and browser had and to find relevant help, maybe I can help someone with this post.
    Key words: local URL opens in the browser, in-application content HTML automatically opens in the browser.

  • Problem with some fonts of symbols after the installation of the Sierra

    Hello

    I have recently upgraded the OS on my iMac late 2012 for Sierra, since doing so, I noticed a problem with several fonts.

    All symbolic symbols Apple to Wingdings fonts not correctly displayed in the font book. Apple symbols looks like a standard wheelbase of san, and other symbolic fonts just show as question marks '?' where the images should be.

    In text editing, that I can't even see the symbolic fonts like Zapf Dingbats and Wingdings in the selector. However, they all work well in Adobe Illustrator (CS5) and Microsoft Word 2011. Apple symbols still looks like a standard font.

    I already tried the following:

    1. check the fonts in font book

    2 fix the duplicates in the font book

    3. using the "Restore Standard fonts" option in the font book

    4 deleting a file in the folder Preferences plist Fonts

    5 deleted the cache of police and the database

    I'm out of ideas. Has anyone else had the same problem found a fix?

    Kind regards

    Greville

    I'm just to add that I used the recovery partition to do a clean install of Sierra on a hard drive external and then booted into it to see if it had the same problem.

    And he does. Wingdings and other photo fonts appear as '?' in boxes where the letters must be in the font book.

    So this seems like a problem with the way Sierra displays these fonts, not with the font files themselves.
