HELP Recovering addresses and email from Outlook 2003

I had some serious driver issues that required re-installing XP from
disc. I did use the backup option and have a backup of all the old
data. And of course had to reinstall Office 2003.

Will third party software restore my old email and addresses or am I
out of luck?? Thanks for the help

What backup solution? Did you find your outlook.pst file when you =
looked through your backup? This is the only file you need to restore =
all of your Outlook data. Once you find it, copy it to My Documents and =
use Outlook to locate and open the file using File->Open->Outlook Data =
File.

Your calendar data, as well as messages, tasks, notes, contacts, etc. are
stored in a file with a .PST extension. Look here for all the information
you need on backup and restoration of Outlook data:

Don't multipost and again; fix your system's time. You are posting from the
future.
