Default Outlook 2007 locks at startup

Followup to msg on Tue, 1 Sep 2009 08:55:26 -0400, "Brian Tillman
[MVP - Outlook]" :
(Original msg on bottom)

Hi Brian, that was what I did .. unfortunately without any good
result.
I have spent more time on that failure and worked on the pst file, as
I understood the freezing occurred "while" Outlook loaded the pst.
(Note: I made a scan of the pst and resulted without errors!)
So, going deeper in the problem I started to delete some folders. I
have been lucky as at the second folder I got the result that Outlook
loaded freely and totally, and works ok.The corrupted area was off !
Now .. I would appreciate if someone may help me understanding:
1) which could be the cause of the corruption ?
2) why the scan-pst gave no sign of that error ?
3) if there is something I may do to avoid that, in future.

Thanks for support
Manlio

Due to a PC serious crash I was forced to reinstall Outlook 2007.
During the import of my old pst file (saved for emergency), the data
acquisition stopped and Outlook freezed (may be the pst was
corrupted).


If this were to happen to me, I'd run a repair install of Office, then start
with a new mail profile, add the PST as the delivery location (NOT import it)
to the new mail profile, and try again.
