Outlook 2003 Error

letnes · 03-22-2007, 05:59 PM

I have Outlook 2003 installed. It has been working fine, but today I exported a copy of the Personal folder and the contact list to files and then to another computer. Now when I try to open Outlook on the original computer I get the following error:

"Unable to open your default e-mail folders

This error can occur if you attempt to run Outlook from a Terminal Server

session when the OST file is in use by the console session. To access this

instance of Outlook, exit the current Terminal Server session and start a new

session by using the following Run command (click Start, then click Run):

mstsc.exe /CONSOLE

You must be an administrator on the computer that is accessing the console

session. You cannot access a console session running on Microsoft Windows

2000 Server or Microsoft Windows XP Home edition. But you can from a computer

running Microsoft Windows Server 2003 or Microsoft Windows XP Professional.

For more information about using Outlook and Terminal Server, see Knowledge

Base article 826488."

I am not using a Terminal Server of any type I am logged in directly to the PC.

Any ideas?
