You might want to run chkdsk /r from a command prompt to see if your disk has some bad sectors.

After furious head scratching, asked:

| Outlook has been very sluggish and in fact makes my whole pc sluggish.
|
| Recently when trying to do a search of my emails I got an error that
| it couldn't access the .pst file due to a cyclic data redundancy. Is
| there a way to fix this? It was actually happening earlier and I
| uninstalled it and bought a fresh copy and reinstalled. Any thoughts
| appreciated (well good ones at least )
