If you can't open your Personal Folders file (.pst) or you suspect that your .pst or .ost data file is corrupt, you can use the Inbox Repair tool (Scanpst.exe) to diagnose and repair errors in the file. The Inbox Repair tool scans only the .pst or .ost file, making sure that the file structure is intact. It doesn't scan your mailbox on the Microsoft Exchange Server. The Inbox Repair tool will reset your file structure and rebuild headers.

The Inbox Repair tool works on both the Microsoft Outlook 97-2002 Personal Folders File (.pst) and the Outlook Personal Folders File (.pst) data files.

Scanpst.exe is installed when you install Microsoft Outlook and is located at:

drive:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\LocaleID folder - where LocaleID is the locale identifier (LCID) for the installation of Microsoft Office. The LCID for English - United States is 1033.

Good luck!

You have to find your outlook.pst file.
