Microsoft Outlook 2007 - outlook.pst is not a personal folders file

I don't understand why this error occurred. 
This makes me wonder if my backups of my computers are good operational backups. 
My computers have been backed up on my network for several years using
Microsoft Windows Home Server 2011.
I have reloaded Windows 7, Office 2007 and associated programs on one of my computers. 
I also restored my outlook data file from WHS 2011 to my documents folder. 
After opening Outlook and pointing to my data file, I receive the error below:
Error message from Outlook 2007:
outlook.pst is not a personal folders file
I have tried Microsoft Fixit and scanpst with no success. 
What else can be performed to repair this file?  

Thanks again,  I don’t have a problem with paying for the software and or support.  I just want to be assured that the software and or support
will repair my entire outlook.pst file before I pay.  As stated before, I plan to contact Stellar this coming week.  Maybe the message I received was due to not purchasing the product. 
I like the idea of purchasing Stellar Software.  I believe it will be useful in the future.  Although I have some questions about the software for other applications.
Thank you for all your responses.  If you should have anything else to share, I would be interested.

    Norton is probably the issue. It can really screw things up, that is one reason I never use it. See if you can temporarily disable it and then try the sync and see if that works.
    On a Mac, there is a way to run a program that repairs permissions for the user, not a Windows thing.

    If you upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion, and did not upgrade to Office 2008 or later, that may be part of the problem.  Try LibreOffice, OpenOffice, NeoOffice, Google Docs, or Zoho Docs.  See my FAQ* for link:  http://www.macmaps.com/crossplatform.html

  • Outlook 2007 delete button does not work

    I can't delete items in my Outlook 2007 inbox or calendar by using the "Delete" button. I can delete items bij using the mouse. The delete button does work when using Word or other applications. Who helps me out? Thanks a lot. 

    Hi,
    This issue may be related to importing from IMAP PSTs.  The solution was to use mfcmapi to change the PR_CONTAINER_CLASS on the Inbox.
    Here is a related thread for your reference.

    If the issue persists, I recommend you ask in Office forum which is staffed by more experts specializing in this kind of problems. You can get better help there.

  • Outlook 2007 client reacurrance calendar not updating in mailbox

    Hello,
    Using Exchange 2010 and Outlook 2007 client. User has access to a shared Calendar in Public Folder. She makes an Recurrence Appt in Public Folder and invites herself to Appt. If she changes one of the future apt (Location change or something like that) it
    updates the Public Folder but not hers. I added myself to this apt and I am using Outlook 2013 and my apt does indeed update. I also can see in "Outlook Web Access" has updated, so just the Outlook 2007 client not updated.
    Any thought into why? Unable to Upgrade to user to Outlook 2013 until New year for other reasons.
    thank you for any help.
    Michael

    Hi Michael,
    Please first make sure she has installed all available updates for Outlook 2007.
    In addition, please have the user temporarily turn off his antivirus and test again.
    If still no luck, we may try testing with a new Outlook profile. See:

  • Outlook 2007 (on vista) will not show when trying to synchronize in v4.3

    I've installed DM v4.3 on vista and and want to synch with MS Outlook (2007). However, in the synch configuration (calender, contacts, etc.) my options are:
    <none>
    <Yahoo>
    <ASCII Importer/Exporter>
    Where is Outlook?? Does anyone know why it's not showing up? I'm not using an enterprise server. I have seen this work on the same set-up so I know it's not a compatibility issue. Any help would be greatfully appreciated!!

    Nikon E5000
    Do you mean a NIkon CP 5000 (Coolpix 5000)? Aperture supports many raw formats, but not all, because the raw support  has to be camera specific. Not all NEF files are in the same format - all Nikon cameras will call their raw files NEF.
    For some cameras Aperture never included raw support. The currently supported cameras are listed here:
    http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
    It looks like your camera is not on this list, so if you want to shoot raw with that camera, develope the raw files using a different raw converter (Adobe's dng converter or the suftware that came with your camera) and import tiff or dng files to Aperture.

  • Outlook 2007 "To Do" bar not showing iCloud Calendar events:

    It may be that Apple did not program into the iCloud software that piggybacks to Outlook 2007 the "To Do/Appointments" bar that shows all your iCloud calendar events on the right side of Outlook. It took hours with Apple to get all devices to sync with Outlook but it now syncs, finally.....just can't figure out a way to see the "To Do/Appointment" bar on the screen right side when the calendar is up. Anyone figure out if that feature still functions or if that is disabled when the iCloud piggyback software is installed with Outlook 2007?

    hi!
    i just want share my ideas.
    option a: please check your conduit if it automatically goes to do nothing. if that is the case, check if you have an EAS account on your versamail.
    option b: try creating a new calendar data on outlook then syncronize your phone. if the new  data will transfer, it means that the rest of your calaendar data are corrupted.
    option c:try to check also that if your calendar data on outlook are on the default calendar folder and not on a subfolder.
    please feel free to reply if what happens after you perform them.
    thanks

  • Outlook 2007 Exchange Delay Delivery Not Working

    I am trying to delay the delivery of 2 emails. I am using Outlook 2007 and the account I set up is an Exchange account provided to me through my college. I saw that Outlook needs to open at the time of desired delivery for the emails to be sent, but that
    this was not the case for Exchange accounts. I tested it when I exited Outlook and the email hadn't sent. Instead, it sent only when I opened Outlook again. How can I alleviate this issue? I have deselected "Use Cached Exchange Mode" and this hasn't
    helped.

    How did you set the delay delivery? With Do not delivery before option or a delay rule?
    After you've clicked the Sent button, please try to click the Send&Receive button to make sure syncing the change to the server. Then close Outlook client and see if the email will be sent at the time you specified.

    Hi,
    Based on my experience, the credential issue is mostly likely caused by authentication method.
    And I recommend the following troubleshooting:
    1. Change LmCompatibilityLevel on the windows XP client to a value of 2 or 3:
    a. Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then press ENTER.
    b. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\
    c. In the pane on the right side, double-click lmcompatibilitylevel.
    d. In the Value data box, type a value of 2 or 3 that is appropriate for your environment, and then click OK.
    e. Exit Registry Editor.
    f. Restart your computer
    2. Reset the windows credential store.
    If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.

  • Outlook 2007 Outlook Anywhere Clients - No Public Folders?

    I have MS Outlook 2007 clients connecting to an Exchange 2013 server using Outlook Anywhere. My problem is that I can't see the Public Folders section in the Folder list (I'm sure I'm viewing the Folder list and not the Mail view). Any ideas why this is
    the case?

    What does your connection status window show? Does is show "connecting" for public folders? This might point to a network or DNS resolution issue especially if it works fine in a different location.

    It says "Connected to Microsoft Exchange". No indication it is trying to connect and we aren't having any other issues with the connection.
    Just to clarify: For all our computers on our domain at our location, the Public Folders section shows up. For remote users that are connecting via Outlook Anywhere the Public Folders section is gone. Not even certain folders within that - the whole section
    just doesn't show up like my screenshot shows. Weird.
    Should there be a Public Folders section in OWA? If I'm not seeing it there I guess it would make sense that my remote users connecting via Outlook Anywhere wouldn't be seeing it?

  • Outlook 2013 weather bar does not show in the File- Options- Canlendar panel

    I installed a chinese office 2013, the machine can connected to internet properly. after I created a profile and logon to outlook, I found the weather bar section was not displayed in the File->Option->Canlendar panel although I configured to install
    all the components and features of office 2013. Please see below snapshot:
    I tried all the possible solutions which others mentioned from the web site, including set the system registry disableWeather to zero, which mentioned in
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/jj228383.aspx ,and
    "... Verify that Office is enabled to connect to the Internet – go to the Privacy options tab of the Trust Center in the Office Fluent Backstage view, and make sure that Allow Office to connect to the Internet is checked. ..."
    All these can not solve my problem, weather bar disappeared in the Calendar panel any way.
    Is anyone help me give some hints or suggestions, I really appreciate your any help!

  • Outlook 13 mail id is not saved in nk2 file

    Dear Team,
    I have recently upgraded outlook-7 to outlook-13, But after importing old NK2 file from outlook-7 to outlook-13,
    i can see all my old NK2 file contacts.
    But the problem is after importing old NK2 file, it is not adding  any new contacts to the old one . 
    if am clearing everything by command  (Outlook.Exe /cleanautocompletecache) and freshly saving any contacts it is happening.
    need your suggestion on this.....
    Regards,
    Rahulsama

    Outlook 2013 no longer uses the nk2-file for caching recently emailed contacts (neither did Outlook 2010). Instead, it is storing this cache within the mailbox itself.
    To quickly fill the cache with some contacts see:

  • Outlook 2007 instead search does not show the items which are actually present in the inbox and folders

    Scenario:
    when user search for any particular email item by using the sender name or subject name it does not show any result. At the same time it works fine when he specify the search folder(target folder) instead of searching it across all the folders/sub-folders.
    1. We tried reconfiguring the outlook profile but this not fixed the issue.
    2. It is specific to only few users but so far for all the others users it works fine.
    3. Restarted the “Microsoft Exchange Indexer Service” but this is also not fixed the issue.
    4. Hence the outlook reconfigure not worked, rebuild the search index not tried yet, but will give a try.

    Hi,
    Did the user select All Mail Items scope when searching in Outlook?
    In addition, please make sure the user is not searching in a shared mailbox because in some configurations, you are limited to using the
    Current Folder search scope when searching in a shared mailbox.
    Please also let me know the result if you have tried rebuilding index.

  • Conflict with Outlook 2007: "Outlook did not close properly"

    I started getting this message "Outlook did not close properly" with the last update of I-Tunes. I searched the web and tried everything (e.g., SCANPST, etc. etc.) and even called Microsoft and created a new profile. It immediately started again.
    Then, when I disabled the I-tunes add-in in Outlook, the message stopped, and stayed stopped. It looks like there's a conflict there. The problem is that I-tunes won't run without that Outlook Add-in being turned on. So it's either Outlook or I-tunes. Why should it be either / or?
    I would appreciate any suggestions to let the two apps peacefully coexist.

    Having the same problem. It would be nice to have a resolution.
