    Unable to access outlook 2007.pst files.


    Hi, A while ago I updated my PC from XP (where I was using outlook express) to windows 7 and office 2007.
    To migrate the personal folders I had to move them from outlook express to outlook (XP). Then using windows transfer installed the folders on office outlook 2007.
    I now need to do a clean install of windows 7 and outlook, so I wanted to make sure the files were copied before going further.
    In outlook I went to file-open-outlook data file, double clicked outlook.pst and up poped the outlook today calender??
    So I tried selecting: file-datafile manager - select personal folder outlook.pst - click open folder. Outlook.pst is displayed as per screen shot the file is there but I am unable to open it. The file is not read only. and I am signed on as administrator. I do not want to use windows tranfer as I have also noticed I have two sets of all folders as per screen shot.
    Hope this makes sense.
    Can Anyone help
    John.
