cant find the pst file

[smiler44]

I am using windows 7 and outlook 2007, office 2007.
There is a desktop icon for outlook and when I click it I get a message saying
"there is no email program associated with the requested action. please install an email program or if one is installed create an association in the default programs control panel"

when I click ok it looks as if outlook is displayed on the screen although not with my old emails and folders.

my pc went wrong and it is just back from the menders. before I do anything with outlook I want to try and copy all my old emails etc. I thought this would all be in a pst file but I cant file the pst file and nothing I have tried from the net has worked

I have proper excel and word icons, both seem to now go through some configuration process but load ok.


please can you help me with outlook? I am worried that if I try and reinstall outlook i'll lose all me emails etc. whre are all the emails kept?

thanks smiler44
