I think I've spotted the problem.

Have you? Sounds like a tall story to me.

So my main work computer is Blue Screening all over the place and looks like it's pretty much dead. I've bought all the parts for my new one but haven't had time to put it all together due to work.
Right now I've moved all the data to another computer and setup my email addresses.
Thunderbird I just copied the directory containing the emails and settings files and it was all just there, contacts, account setup and new emails coming down.
Outlook on the other hand is sucking donkeys balls pretty hard. This account is IMAP and when I recreated the account all emails came down. What isn't there is my business contacts, they are all in the other OST file. Outlook 2013 won't open it directly and all tools to give me access want money. Free Outlook OST Viewer let's me see stuff but I can't get the contacts out unless I type them one by one.
WTF can I do to get my contacts from my other OST? Booting the old computer isn't an option, it Blue Screens about 60 seconds after logging in to Windows.

.ost (ditto .pst) files are a right PITA to read if not using Outlook ... I used a product in my last job to enable me to do so as a favour to someone (it needs C# to drive it), but its 400 Euro - at least you said a free tool you has could read the .ost file, so at least its not corrupt
(make a backup copy or two or three just in case)
I cant suggest anything that doesn't involve code & $$

Don't know if it will help you or not, but try to read this link:

I've seen interesting hints on that page...
Hope it helps.

Outlook uses PST for IMAP and OST for exchange. So, make sure you're copying over the right file to start. Failing that...

Did you try booting into safe mode?

Install the same version of Outlook your other computer had. Or, you can import contacts[^] from a PST file.
If they are in fact in an OST instead, then your contacts can be exported from whatever the exchange server is. In fact, it'll be recreated automatically the next time you connect to it.

Nope. Outlook 2013 uses Me@MyEmailAddress.ost for my IMAP connection to my work email server. No Exchange or Hosted Exchange Server to be found. It is my Domain hosted email.
Jeremy Falcon wrote: Did you try booting into safe mode?
Yes. It maybe lasts 61 seconds before Blue Screening again. Mostly 0x124, but with 0x50, 0x1a, 0xe and others thrown in.

The exact Outlook license is now on this computer. There is no PST file. There is no Exchange server in the mix.

Then you're a bit screwed man. AFAIK OST files are machine specific when being used in Outlook directly.
If booting into safe mode on the old computer doesn't work, then you could try the recovery console at least to replace some potential rouge drivers. Might buy you some time at least... maybe. Worth a shot.
Outside of that, unless you feel like hex editing, I'd either just retype your contacts if it's only like a 100 or so. If it's 1,000s then I'd be forking over the cash to get a OST to PST converter so I could import it on your new computer.

Have you tried putting your old hard drive into your new machine and booting off that just to export everything? If it's blue screening it's probably an issue other than the hard drive.
