    New computer. :)Data files from old computer were in a file called "From Old Computer." Everything was working fine, including Outlook, until this evening when I decided to move everything out of "From Old Computer" to Documents. Wrong thing to do. Now I get " C:\Users\Alice\Documents\From Old Computer\aliceandtj@comcast.net.pst cannot be found. " I tried to reverse what I did, but I've lost my way.
    Please, someone, help me.

    Search your hard drive for the .pst file, and point Outlook to it.

    Response to Arnie

    Thank you for responding, Arnie. That's what I did last night after I wrote for help. Couldn't wait. It was so frustrating. Anyway, I found more than one pst file and evidently imported the wrong one. I can open and use Outlook now, but there are no contacts, no extra folders, etc., and gazillion emails that I got rid of a long time ago.
    Do I just try another pst file? Do I delete the first pst file first?

    PST files hold:
    emails
    contacts
    meeting reminder - calendar entries.

    So if you have another pst file that probably holds the info - yes - try importing that.

    Thank you

    Thanks, Steve. I did import another pst file. Now I have two identical accounts, neither of them right. I give up. I'll pay someone to get it fixed.

    Got Outlook fixed

    Thank you, Arnie and Steve. I finally got Outlook fixed and didn't have to pay someone to do it. Thanks for your suggestions.
