Help, my Outlook got toasted!
I use Outlook 2002 to handle all of my e-mail accounts, including hotmail. Last night, I was moving a bunch of e-mails from hotmail to a local folder on my computer. I dragged them from hotmail to my folder in my Inbox. The screen stalled and a few seconds later I got the dreaded blue screen of death (I've only gotten it a few times since I've had Windows XP). It said it may be due to new hardware or software but I haven't installed anything new lately. Anyways, I turned off my computer and since it was really late, I just went to sleep. This morning I booted my computer and everything was fine until I tried opening Outlook. Everything was wiped out! E-mails, contacts, settings, folders, everything. I got the configuration screen when I opened it (the one for new users). Now, my contacts are all stored on my Pocket PC so that's fine but I've lost all my e-mails and all my personalised settings. Is there any way I can restore Outlook? Would a System Restore help at all? What about the autoarchives? Can I somehow use them to restore Outlook? Needless to say I'm really really mad at Microsoft right now!
Thanks in advance
