I had to do a system re-install yesterday on a Vista laptop. I preparation for this I backup all my Office files (docs & Outlook 2007 PST file).

The PST file (as of yesterday) was just under 2Gb in size and has many emails, contacts, etc.

Now that i have re-installed everything and restored the backed-up files, I can successfully open all the Word, Excel & Powerpoint files, but when I open the PST file, it shows as empty. Nothing.

I've tried SCANPST on it and it reports only about 26 folders and 200 or so "members" - I know there should be waaaaay more than that.
