I am having a problem with my PST folder. Everytime I open up Outlook, it
says that need to run SCANPST.exe, to which I have done numerous times, with
no luck.

I am trying to save as much of my emails as I can. Can anyone help out?

Chuck

Do you mean that the pst is inaccessible, even after running scanpst?

I have a similar problem. Most times when i start Outlook it gives me an
error message something like this:
"A Data File did not close properly last time and about two more lines of
text"

It starts a scan and Outlook is totally unuseable while that scan runs.

I don't recall this error prior to installing the
Outlook2007-kb933493-fulfile-x86-glb update. This update was supposedd to
speed Outlook up when you had large mailboxes. It just made things worse.

Any ideas

Jon

in your case outlook is not closing properly and the pst needs checked when
it is opened. are you using a pda or any apps that would be using outlook
data?

I got the same problem. I have taken out all the add-ons. I tested with
a new .pst file and then every thing works good. But when I imported al
the old emails back in I get the same error all over again.
I don’t know what to do any more.

Importing is never the way to move data between pst's

That's exactly when my problems started. When I installed the update.
And no I don't have a fix.

Yes I sync to a Cell phone/pda running Windows Mobile occassionally. I use
the feature to keep my phone number current. So once aweek or so I connect
the phone.

I've had the same problem. After the update, my extremely large .pst archive
file (a bit over 5 gig) shows errors even after running scanpst. I'm willing
to bust the big file up into smaller files (which is how it was before the
2007 came out), but the new software was supposed to be able to handle large
files up to 20 gig. HELP!!!
