Default Corrupt personal folders

Hi

My pst file has gone corrupt. I tried repairing it with scanpost but the
repaired file, although retains its large size, does not show any items in
outlook. I have a backup of the original file before repair which shows
items in outlook but sometimes hangs outlook due to its corruption. How can
I now repair it? Would exporting into a new pst help?

Thanks

Regards

What version of Outlook are you using and how big is your .PST file?

Search the web for repair tools to recover whatever is in the file.

What type of errors are you seeing? Is the PST a Unicode or an ANSI
(Outlook 97-2002) PST?

The outlook just hangs from time to time. When I ran scanpst it says there
are errors in the file that needs to be fixed. Attached is the log.

Outlook file is 2003.
