DL

And what happens when outlook is opened / started?
1) nothing, it doesnt start or gives an err; then use the office cd to
repair the installation
2) it opens but none of the old mail is there; within outlook,
File>Open>Data file.....browse to and open any other data files
http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/backupandrestore.htm
3) there are no other data files; then presumably the 'recover from crash'
process destroyed all the origonal data
4) outlook is an email client not account, you have to enter the account
info supplied by the ISP
