Originally I had installed Win XP and Office 2003 on my computer. Recently
I bought Vista and re-installed my Office 2300. Everything has been
running correctly since.

A few days ago however I had some trouble with Outlook and ran scanpst.exe
successfully. Today, when I discussed some technical problems with a
friend of mine, to my great surprise I cannot find scanpst.exe any more.
It is definitely nowhere on my computer (I'm no newbie, by the way, so I
do know how and where to search!!).

I managed to retrieve scanpst.exe from my Office installation CD. When I
try to run it it complains it cannot find scanpst32.dll. Another intense
search on my machine, this time for that *.dll file, brought no result.
And here comes the next surprise: On the installation CD this *.dll file
is also not present! Was it created automatically during the installation
of Office?

What or who removed these two *.pst files from my machine? Could one of
the recent updates automatically performed by Microsoft be the culprit?

Some browsing in the Web led me to a few postings where people mentioned
the fact that scanpst.exe is not compatible with Windows Vista. What is
true about this, and what would be the proper procedure on my current
system should I ever want to repair a *.pst-File? Did my first -
successful! - activation of scanps swap the files?

Anyway, I'm completely at loss. and I would be extremely grateful for any
advice.

Kind regards,

Johannes
