Outlook 2007 cannot open .pst file

I just installed Outlook 2007, then moved older outlook pst files
successfully into my new Outlook.

However, I closed it and then restarted it. It claims that it cannot
open the Outlook.pst file anymore.

In trouble, need any and all input as to how to fix it; other than
completely reinstalling it.  I will loose some new email that I
downloaded.

thank you,

Which method did you use to reconnect your older pst-files?

Which method did you use to reconnect your older pst-files? "Moved it" is
not a valid action nor does it describe exactly what you did.
The proper way to reconnect to pst-files is to use;
File-> Open-> Outlook Data File...

Have you verified that all your referenced pst-files are still in their
correct position?
Did you perhaps delete or overwrite any pst-file in your restore method?

Reinstalling will not help you here since it is a configuration issue and
not an installation issue. Recreate you mail profile if all things fail;

You can then reconnect your pst-files via the above described method.

If your pst-file is broken for some reason, then you will have scan it for
issue with scanpst.exe. You can find that file i your installation directory
of Office or see;
