An outlook 2007 pst file is corrupt, and we have to retrieve as much info as possible from it. scanpst.exe doesn't fix it. It is 1.2 Gb in size. Our focus is primarily the contacts and calendar, but any/all information recovered has value.

There are a lot of different software repair tools (shareware and commercial) out there, but no one seems to rate them.

If you have first-hand experience using these tools good or bad, please tell me what you used and how well it worked with your 2007 pst recovery efforts. I'm not looking for shills for products -- just real world experiences so we can eval what may be worth buying/using.

thanks.
