thanks. turning off all add-ins solved the issue. also stopped it from
checking the file for errors after a normal shutdown. now to turn them on
again one by one to see which one was doing it!

When I try to Customize Current View to display birthdays for outlook

I'd first use SCANPST to make sure the PST was OK. Then I'd use /cleanviews
to make sure the views were OK. I'd then turn off any add-ins to make sure
they aren't interfering.
