Default Corrupt pst file

I was using Outlook 2000 and two days ago it stopped working, saying I have a
corrupt pst file. I have used PST2GB and then Inbox Repair tool about a
million times but Inbox Repair tool gets an error at the end.

I have tried a program called Kernel for Outlook but that didn't work very
good. A bunch of stuff was missing and then Outlook 2000 wouldn't start any
more.

So I went and bought Office 2007 and I still can't import, open or do
anything else with my old files.


Once the PST is so corrupt that SCANPST.EXE can't fix it or fails, there's a
good chance your PST is toast. The size limit is in the PST itself so Outlook
2007 won't magically enable you to open it.

I can't begin to explain how important it is that I get my Contacts and
Calendar back. I know that's what everyone says but it's true!


Looks like you'll have to pay for a commercially available tool that can do a
better job than SCANPST or a company that does Outlook data recovery.
