Hi Archie and welcome to ExTS :)

 

Do you know which version of Outlook you had on XP - and which version are you using on Win-7 ?

 

Take a look here - click here

There is another option here too- click here

 

When you try to open the file what error message do you get ?

After you run scanpst do you get any report / log

Hi,archiehart,

 

There are a lot of online resources discussing about how to recovering corrupt or damaged PST files.

 

First, the Microsoft offical tool scanpst, also called Inbox Repair Tool, can repair the PST file, you can refer the following articles:

Second, there are many third-party Outlook recovery tools you can try, below is a list of them:

Nearly all these tools provide a free trial so you can try first to see if a tool works before purchase it.

 

Good luck!
