My outlook 2003 file is corrupted, it says when i try to open it
"unable to open because it's not a personal file folders"

I ran scanpst.exe, it detected an error and said that the file is
repaired. but still i cannot open it.

Once Outlook reports a PST as "not a personal folders file", it's
irrecoverable with any freeware tool I know. You're lucky that SCANPST did
not report the same error because it usually will, if Outlook does.
