[QUOTE="wolsty, post: 19046, member: 175166"] @ Rolf Copied files to hard disk and checked properties. None is read only. Archive is 204 MB and Backup is 49 MB, so they contain a lot of data! By contrast the Outlook file is 16 KB. Unfortunately, however, your suggestion didn't work. If I click on a file and 'open with' Outlook, I simply get Word as an e-mail editor and the file appears as an attachment. If I then try to open it, the PC will hang. It seems that all three files have been corrupted and produce similar responses under XP as they did under 98. Although my diary and address list are backed up via my PDA, the serious loss is all my e-mails, only a few of which are backed up or on hard copy. I'd feel less bad about it if the data loss hadn't occurred when I was staring my much delayed backup! Thanks for the suggestion, though. [/QUOTE]
