Outlook doesn't recognize the file

[Fonn78]

Dont know what happened but I think since yesterday I started getting error message when opening pst file with the help of MS Outlook.

Error 'Outlook doesn't recognize the file outlook.pst. No information can be recovered'.

I am not too familiar with Office actually, so you may have to give me step-by-step instructions.
Anyone have any idea on what I should do? How to open pst file?

This is not a VirtualBox problem I'm afraid, this is an Outlook problem. You should have better chances of finding the solution if you start looking in the appropriate places.

Fonn, the only Virtualbox-based reason for this issue that I could gather is if you are trying to open this .pst file through a shared folder established through Guest Additions. A .pst is really a database, if I interpret things right, and Guest Additions Shared Folders are only good for file copying, not opening databases or running programs. Use a real shared folder through a network, or copy the file to the guest disk first.

Of course you didn't actually mention anything in your post to even imply you had a Virtualbox guest running, so....
