    Detect and Repair on Outlook 2003 lost EVERYTHING

    I am new to this forum, so forgive me if I have posted this in the wrong area.

    My Outlook 2003, on Vista, had become rather unstable lately so I tried the Detect and Repair function. When prompted, I checked both boxes to restore original shortcuts. When it was done, I had a brand new Outlook 2003 and lost ALL of my files that were in my Outlook. Please tell me they are still on my PC somewhere. I cannot believe this just wiped everything out. I did the System Restore but that didn't help.

    All help would be appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Ntherapy

    Did you reinstall your Outlook 2003 or you had just use repair option, if by mistake you had reinstall your Outlook then there is no chances of getting your .pst file in that case you need to use some backup recovery software for the same.

    Thanks for the reply. I don't know how, but it does appear to have reinstalled. I simply did the Detect and Repair and chose to redo the shortcuts.

    Do you recommend any particular recovery software? I saved a lot of stuff in my email files.

    Chances are that your data file is still in tact. That's where all your stuff is, not the program itself. If it's at a default location, it's probably buried in your user folder/Application Settings/Microsoft/... see if you can find it.
