As soon as I load up outlook, I tried to import things, it locked up.

Now as soon as I open it...."Not responding"

Frown sent to them. POS. lol.

I am now repairing it. If that doesnt work its getting uninstalled and then re installed.

Not sure how long you waited, but it is generally a good idea to give it some time. As it probably is upgrading your PST file more than anything else.

I had that error too. I just looked through my connect directory until it came up, pressed apply and did it through there.

I suppose that the error had something to do with the registration. After I posted about the error, I looked around in the connect directory and found the download. I guess I wasn't expecting to have to browse through the connect directories.

Got it installed (32-bit). Haven't really seen anything that looks different from Office 2007, except for the animated "splash" screen when starting the office apps.

There is no PST file for it to use.

Windows Mail doesn't use PST files sadly. So it only said it couldn't find them. then it doesnt work.

Uninstalled it, then reinstalled but it kept the settings, so i am back at square one.

ugh this is such a mess. I try to import a save that I have of my Contacts and Inbox, but it says the PST file is already in use!

What the ****!

How can I import my contacts and Inbox that are PST folders?

When I start outlook it says "Cannot find inbox.pst file"

I hit ok

it says "Cannot find contacts.pst file"

I point it to where they are at. and it goes away,

then I go to "Import" and it wont let me import them because they are "already in use".

I got the issue fixed.

Now it has an option to import from Windows Mail. It imports my contacts. But not my email.

Can someone help me out.

When I set up an account it gives it, its own folder. and doesn't go to the default place.

below.

It places my email separately and doesn't do anything under "inbox".

What am I doing wrong?

I just got my invite. For those that have installed it: does it seem stable enough for daily use? I'm trying to decide if I'll install it on my work laptop or not.

Also, does anyone know if SharePoint Server 2010 will ever be part of the technical preview?

Did you setup and Exchange or Hotmail account?

No, at one point I had office 2007 installed. It took a fit, and I uninstalled it, so when I installed this version somewhere, the settings were around and it imported that.

If I go and delete those old files, outlook says "Cannot find Inbox and contacts.pst"

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.
