It sounds like a virus to me.. The same thing happend to me, I did re-format. you should be able to export your mail to a file and open it when you do re-format.
Maybe you could get in the recovery consol of Windows Xp and find all files with a .pst(i think) extention and copy them to a floppy.
Good luck
OMG!!!!!!
Yeah im thinking its a virus too... im doing an online virus scan in trend micro, i hope it works, but im not puttin gmy hopes up...

Once again THANK YOU
The most likely location for Outlook.pst, assuming you haven't changed the ProfileDir when you installed is,
C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\OutlookHotmail (1)-00000004.pst
THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!
oh man, that sucks. 
it really does sound like a virus, though.
hopefully you get everything fixed up and good luck with the website.
Thanx guys... now, im off to reformatting... :cry: ill see you guys later...

Well sh##
I think I had the solution
Did you happen to use a cracked version of Restorator recently?
Whoa, Duckie is back! 
You could have also used KNOPPIX to backup your data if Windows got messed up. I suggest that when you get everything running again, you burn a copy of it, because you may not be so lucky next time. 
Damn... im back guys.. maybe too late... and my windows is looking ugly with luna all over and ballontooltips and stuff... im goiong to cry...
No duckie i didnt... but my brother brought some diskettes froma friends house... :nuts: and i had just closed NAV because i had installed new nvidia drivers and it said itd be better if i did... so theres the guilty party...
Cheers everyone... please pray for me and my back to normal re modding of windows.. HAHAHA
