OL98 hangs
Why import, simply open the pst
"John Keith" wrote in message ... Environment: OL98 and WinXP SP2 This morning when I came to check my email I clicked on Inbox and got a continuous hourglass for the cursor. I had to use task manager to close OL98. I've not been able to get back to a working environment since that problem and here are the steps I've tried: 1) reinstalled OL98, and tried to reload my outlook.pst, the import froze when it got to the calendar 2) ran scanpst.exe on the outlook.pst file, only found minor inconsistencies, still freezes when importing at the calendar 3) tried to import a 2 month old copy of the outlook.pst and still freezes when importing the calendar I need some suggestions about what to look for to get back to a working OL! Thanks for any suggestions. John Keith |

Why import, simply open the pst Good question. In my normal use of OL I never "open" pst files so in my rush to try and resolve my problem I've probably used some incorrect procedures. After I reinstalled OL98 I thought I had to import the pst file rather than open so that is what I did. Nevertheless, here is what I know now. In my Outlook Today I have all the usual folders and all have what I expect in them except the calendar, which is now blank except the entry "Welcome to Calendar". Then, in a separate "Personal Folders" I have another folder labeled "Calendar" which appears to have my previous calendar information. But, whenever I ckick on this folder Outlook will freeze. What steps can I take to try and recover my calendar entries? John Keith |

What size is your PST?
When opening a PST, use File Open in Outlook. -- Kathleen Orland Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ http://www.howto-outlook.com/ "John Keith" wrote: On Thu, 1 Mar 2007 17:36:59 -0000, "DL" address@invalid wrote: Why import, simply open the pst Good question.

What steps can I take to try and recover my calendar entries? Doing a little web searching I came across the following web page (below) which matches my situation exactly. I tried to follow the procedure described on the page below and I found that I have the same situation as the last poster in this string (all calendar events found in Advanced Find cause a hang), but there is no follow up to this last inquiry. Does anyone have an additional tip before I start manually entering a couple of hundred appointments back into my outlook calendar??? http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/thread-1810640.php John Keith |
