I am looking for a utility that will export from an
Outlook 2000 OST file. I used to be attached to an
Exchange server for which I had an offline store set up,
but I no longer have access to the Exchange server and
have since just used the offline store to manage my
personal calendar, contacts, etc. (Yes, I now know I
should have moved my info to a PST file.)
I recently had an error in Outlook that shut it down, and
when I tried to restart my Win ME, Win ME failed to load
properly and is now completely unusable. I tried copying
the OST file to a new harddrive with a fresh copy of Win
ME and Outlook, but after adding a new Exchange service
with the OST file attached, I try to open Outlook and get
the message "Cannot open OST file. You must access
Exchange at least once to use the OST file."

I'm afraid that www.exchangerecovery.com is your only option at this point.
It ain't cheap, alas.....but it does work.
