Need Help with Outlook 2000 reinstall

[RacerGirl117]

I recently uninstalled my Office 2000 Premier and attempted to install Office 2000 Professional. Somehow the 2nd CD of Professional became corrupt so I aborted the installation and reinstalled Premier. Before I began all this I created a new .pst file with the contacts in my Contacts folder.

After the reinstallation of Premier, I started Outlook and was prompted to find a/the Outlook.pst file. I could not locate this "default" file so I chose my Contacts.pst file instead just so I could get into Outlook.

Well now I have my standard Outlook Today and the supposed appropriate subfolders. But I also have a "Personal Folders" folder listed which I, of course, cannot get to.

Do I need to do a reinstall of Outlook or is there a way I can get rid of this "Personal Folders"?

Thanks in advance,

Disconnect from the Folder, If its the "default message store" you might be best to reinstall, and connect to your contacts folder, and drag any contacts, messages etc to the new "default message store"
