.pst corrupt, scanpst.exe broken, .pst file missing
The issue is I cannot delete files from the delete folder. should I just
leave it or... am best to just uninstall Outlook (or Office as a whole) and then reinstall same? Tried all the layperson stuff and fixes like repair from HELP tab, and repair from disc. Found the scanpst.exe file but it displays a broken symbol, and I cannot locate the .pst file anywhere to repair it anyhow from browse & search for .pst (advanced). One repair program returns an error message that it cannot access a temp file for sketch? and I may not have access rights. (retry, abort, quit) I don't understand what that is. Any direction welcome, thanks Jim |

.pst corrupt, scanpst.exe broken, .pst file missing
Uninstall/Reinstall is unlikely to help, particularly if the data file is
corrupted The scanpst.exe Icon is a 'broken' symbol You have to enable hidden files to be able to locate your pst file Is this a Vista sys? "Jim" wrote in message ...

Vista 32 bit, SP2. I recall the hidden files thing, but don't know where
that is?

Fixed!
I used the scanpst.exe file even though it appears "broken" (envelope torn in
2?) and repaired the Outlook pst file in the Apps folder. Crossed fingers and legs et viola! worked! All this after a well-meaning "help desker" yesterday set up a whole duplicate Outlook profile for me, that only partially worked and took a few hours to try to get working. Thanks DL for looking into this, Jim |
