Default Recreate a new PST file

Hi folks,

A friend of mine seems to have a corrupted Outlook setup.

His 500Mb or so PST file appears twice on the left-hand pane, and when he
tries to view properties on either of them he gets an error. I've verified
for sure that only one PST file physically exists on the PC. This also
causes problems with his address book, and he gets an error when he tries to
access it. Although he can cancel this and then it works.

I've tried moving the PST file, but when Outlook starts it cannot find it
(of course) and exits. It doesn't give the option to create a new PST file.

I was thinking of moving the contents to a separate "archive" PST file, and
then trying to generate a new blank PST file. Anyone have any ideas how to
do this?

I'm loathed to uninstall Office if it all does when I reinstall is use the
same settings and file.

Any ideas?

Thanks
