... where is that file normally located? For Windows XP, it's notmally located in %UserProfile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook. For Windows Vista, it's normally in %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Outlook. Just open WIndows Explorer and paste the appropriate path into the Address bar and click Go. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

You'll need to see this: http://www.slipstick.com/problems/repair2gbpst.asp Once you've repaired the existing PST, create a new one with FileNewOutlook Data File, make the data file your default delivery location with ToolsE-mail AccountsView or change existing e-mail accountsNext (change the "Deliver new e-mail to the following location" drop-down to choose the new PST, then restart Outlook), and move some of the data from the old PST to the new one. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

Start the Mail applet in Control Panel. Click the E-mail Accounts button, select "View or change existing e-mail accounts" and click Next. At the lower left will be a drop-down labeled "Deliver new e-mail to the following location". Change that drop-down to point to your new PST. Click Finish. Click the Data Files button, select the broken PST and click Remove. Click Close, then Close again. Outlook should now be able to start with your new data file as the delivery location. You can then repair the old PST as explained in the link I posted previously, which should allow you to recover most of its contents. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

What is your .pst file size?
In case of large .pst file: Microsoft Outlook 2002 and its earlier versions, which include Outlook 2000, 98 and 97, have 2 GB size limit problem with PST (Personal Storage) file. If the PST file reaches or exceeds this size limit, the file can not be opened and stored data can not be accessed. There are strong chances of PST file corruption when it exceeds the size limit. Options: 1. Use oversize PST crop tool. Visit here for detailed information about the tool: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/296088 2. Compact .pst file: compact .pst file to eliminate deleted item space in outlook Visit here for detailed information: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/289987 3. Use 3rd party application to repair pst file and recover all outlook items.
